diagnosticImplementation Constraints
cofactor dependency: cofactor requirement unknownencoding mode: genetically encodedimplementation constraint: context specific validationoperating role: sensor
The described implementation uses ultrasound modalities including elastography and ABVS, and combines them with MRI or CT.; combination with MRI/CT is described for improved diagnostic accuracy
Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
