Abstract
IPF is a clinically and radiologically heterogenous condition. AIQCT is a novel tool developed, in part, to account for the interobserver variability seen when reporting parenchymal abnormalities on CT in IPF. Handa et al (Ann Am Thorac Soc 2022;19:399) used AIQCT in a training cohort of 304 CTs from patients with IPF to derive prognostic features, and then applied to 120 consecutively enrolled patients in a validation cohort. Patients required paired pulmonary function tests within 3 months of scanning, and scans could not demonstrate pleural effusion, pneumomediastinum or acute exacerbation of IPF (AE-IPF). Correlation coefficients outperformed those of texture-based analysis methods (p0.001 for 7/9 radiographic patterns), such as Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Paediatric Intervals, and reflects the reliability of AIQCT for quantification of lung abnormalities seen in other studies of the modality. Strengths of this protocol include the ability to differentiate traction bronchodilatation from honeycombing, and the automatic volumetric measurement of airways to include peripheral airways. AIQCT not only reliably identifies lung parenchymal patterns but also bronchial and central airways volumes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis including gender-age physiology staging found that bronchial volume (ie, the presence of traction bronchodilatation) and normal (non-interstitial lung disease (ILD)) lung volumes were independent prognostic factors in IPF (HRs 1.33, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.53, and 0.97, 95% CI 0.94 to 0.99, respectively). This study demonstrates the potential for novel software to enhance clinical care by providing better information to clinicians on longer-term outcomes but it requires further research prior to adoption into clinical practice.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
