Upload a CT
Drop in an abdominal CT series. The model needs the CT alone. Radiology reports help only during training, so none is needed at the point of use.
Research preview · Built in Sydney
We're building toward a viewer for radiologists: upload an abdominal CT and see the pancreatic tumour highlighted with a soft, shape-faithful contour, and an honest band where the edge is uncertain. We're in research preview, and we publish our evidence as we go.

The product we're building
The workflow we're designing toward. Each step maps to a piece of research that is under way; none of it is a finished clinical product.
Drop in an abdominal CT series. The model needs the CT alone. Radiology reports help only during training, so none is needed at the point of use.
A segmentation model trained with report-, morphology- and anatomy-aware supervision traces the lesion, including where it extends past the pancreas.
See the most likely boundary, plus a graded band where it's uncertain. It supports the radiologist's delineation. It is not a diagnosis, and the radiologist stays in charge.
Pricing
No seats, no licence fees, no minimums. A radiology team pays for the scans it contours, and nothing when it doesn't.
One CT in, one tumour contour and uncertainty band out.
Why the edge
Pancreatic cancer is infiltrative: it wraps vessels and often extends past the gland. Expert hand-drawn outlines exist for only a few thousand public scans, while hospitals hold far more CTs paired with written reports.
Methods that learn from reports turn a reported size into a ball-shaped target, which works for finding tumours. They then cut away anything predicted outside the pancreas, which removes real tumour at exactly the edge that matters.
The target ignores the tumour's real shape, and tissue outside the organ mask is deleted.
Supervision that follows the reported margin, and an anatomical prior that guides the model instead of amputating tumour.
Evidence so far
Every number below comes from our own experiments, labelled with the study and cohort it came from. We don't have clinical accuracy figures yet, and we won't invent them.
development cases with tumour had reference tumour outside the supplied pancreas mask: 74% of reference volume. A hard organ cut would delete it.
Task 4 · E01 · 16 native development cases · saved outputs, no retraining
of all reference tumour voxels fall outside the anatomy search region (expert anatomy, 26 of 143 cases). With predicted anatomy: 3.92%, 17 cases.
Task 4 · S1 · 143 training cases · unchanged baseline dilation, 1 mm crops
mean Dice change from simply softening the search region by 5 mm. That's far short of the +0.020 we pre-registered, so we're reporting it as a null.
Task 4 · S2 · 143 exposed cases · target diagnostic, no training
Roadmap
From one model to the tool radiologists open for every tumour they read.
The model that traces a tumour's real edge, not a sphere.
Upload a CT, get the tumour highlighted with its uncertainty band.
First partner teams on per-scan pricing, shaping the viewer with us.
DICOM and PACS integration, so contours open where radiologists already read.
Size, volume and vessel contact from the contour, ready for the report.
Compare contours across scans to see growth or response to treatment.
From pancreas to liver, kidney and beyond.
Validated and cleared for clinical use: the contour every radiologist trusts.
Team
One team with one goal: show radiologists where a tumour really ends. Engineers and researchers building in Sydney.

If you read abdominal CT, twenty minutes of your opinion on how a contour and its confidence band should be shown would shape what we build next.
