Safety

Autonomous.
Never unattended.

Every scan is bounded. The system backs off before a clinician would know to.

Active protection
40°CMax surface temperature
IEEEASMESJSUIntelliScience

Temperature ceiling

Max surface temp bounded. Tissue protected.

Dose floor

Minimum effective exposure maintained.

Standoff limits

Arm retreats if geometry shifts.

Full logging

Every scan path recorded and reviewable.
