Abstract
From the first description in 1972 as “subacute and chronic recurrent osteomyelitis” to the currently recognized chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) or chronic nonbacterial osteitis (CNO), diagnosis and monitoring of patients with this disease has been and continues to be a challenge1,2. While the most common presenting symptom is focal bone pain, its waxing and waning nature tends to contribute to the diagnostic odyssey that many patients must endure. Objective changes on examination such as swelling and tenderness over a lesion may not be present or may mimic inflammatory arthritis. Laboratory findings are equally nonspecific, with some patients having a mildly elevated C-reactive protein and/or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, while most other laboratory findings remain normal3. In about one-quarter of patients, a comorbid inflammatory condition such as psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease, when present, often provides the vital clue to establishing a diagnosis4. However, in those with osseous involvement only, the lack of specific findings makes the diagnosis of CNO challenging, with patients averaging 2 years between initially presenting with symptoms and receiving a diagnosis of CNO5. Given the lack of pathognomonic features in most patients, a high index of suspicion for CNO and close collaboration between clinicians and radiologists are important to making a timely diagnosis. While imaging is essential in establishing a diagnosis of CNO, imaging features of CNO can also be relatively nonspecific. Plain films lack sensitivity, especially early in the disease course and may be completely normal despite significant disease activity. When positive, … Address correspondence to Dr. P.

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
