Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the pseudohepatic anisotropy artifact on liver intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) metrics and whether the use of multiple gradient directions in the IVIM acquisition minimizes the artifact. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multiple breath-holding and forced shallow free-breathing IVIM scans were performed on 8 healthy volunteers using 1 and 6 gradient directions. Cluster analysis was carried out to separate motion-contaminated parenchyma from liver parenchyma and vessels. Nonlinear motion analysis was also performed to look for a possible link between IVIM metrics and nonlinear liver motion. RESULTS: On the basis of the resulted clusters, motion-contaminated parenchyma is often noted in the left liver lobe, where the prominent pseudohepatic artifact has previously been identified. A significant reduction in outliers was obtained with the acquisition of 6 noncoplanar gradient directions and when using forced shallow free-breathing. CONCLUSION: The pseudohepatic anisotropy artifact can be minimized when using multiple diffusion-encoding gradient directions and forced free-breathing during IVIM acquisition.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
