Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Time-of-Flight Computed Tomography (TOF-CT) aims to enable the next step after photoncounting CT by discriminating ballistic from scattered photons. This is obtained by measuring their flight time between the pulsed X-rays source and time correlated detectors. While this method can increase the contrast in images without the use of anti-scatter grids, it causes a significant increase of data to manage within the acquisition system. Furthermore, such system requires 1:1 coupling for the SiPM and additional signal synchronization. We propose in this paper a design for a data acquisition system answering these stringent requirements, but which could handle either a cone beam or a fan beam configuration.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
