Abstract
There is a need for open-source libraries in emission tomography that (i) use modern and popular backend code to encourage community contributions and (ii) offer support for the multitude of reconstruction techniques available in recent literature, such as those that employ artificial intelligence. The purpose of this research was to create and evaluate a GPU-accelerated, open-source, and user-friendly image reconstruction library, designed to serve as a central platform for the development, validation, and deployment of various tomographic reconstruction algorithms. PyTomography was developed using Python and inherits the GPU-accelerated functionality of PyTorch and parallelproj for fast computations. Its flexible and modular design decouples system matrices, likelihoods, and reconstruction algorithms, simplifying the process of integrating new imaging modalities using various python tools. Example use cases demonstrate the software capabilities in parallel hole SPECT and listmode PET imaging. Overall, we have developed and publicly share PyTomography, a highly optimized and user-friendly software for medical image reconstruction, with a class hierarchy that fosters the development of novel imaging applications.

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
