Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Focused Ultrasound is earning fast clinical acceptance as a treatment approach that allows sending acoustic energy into the body noninvasively. This energy is concentrated into a small focal point and depending on the wave’s intensity, frequency, and media characteristics, necrosis of the tissue can be achieved. Therefore, planning the location of the desired target is a crucial step in the therapeutic process. This thesis focused on the treatment planning of two Focused Ultrasound (FUS) systems designed for new pre-clinical and clinical applications where a user-centred approach for design was applied. The user input from researchers with a health sciences background was used to design the first system, a FUS device that works in parallel with the Sofie Biosciences uPET scan that combines both anatomical and functional imaging modalities. Second, a study on targeting feasibility was performed in patients previously diagnosed with osteomyelitis using an existing Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound system. The Python-based script software that allowed virtual treatment planning was also evaluated against the metrics of the user-centred design.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
