Abstract
Microwave imaging for breast cancer detection is based on the difference in electrical properties of normal, fatty breast tissues and tumors. Tumors may be detected by observing variations in microwave signals transmitted through or reflected from the breast. Radar-based breast imaging methods use the reflected signals from the breast to form images, and generally this involves co-polarized reflections. Observation of the cross-polarized reflection was proposed in S.C. Hagness et al. (IEEE Transac. Ant. Propag., pp. 783-791, 1999), and it was shown that the cross-polarized response did not contain reflections from planar interfaces such as the chest wall. In this paper, we further explore the application of cross-polarization to tumor detection. A broadband antenna capable of detecting cross-polarized reflections is simulated, constructed, and measured. The feasibility of tumor detection with cross-polarized reflections is examined through simulations and experimentally.

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
