Abstract
Active microwave breast imaging is being researched as a supplement to current breast imaging modalities. Ultra-wideband radar approaches involve analyzing reflections from the breast to identify the presence of tumors. Skin sensing, which involves estimating the location and thickness of the skin, is a key step in this process, as the reflections from the skin dominate the signal. Current methods employing a rudimentary peak detection process estimate the location of the breast with acceptable accuracy. However, estimates of skin thickness in the range of 1.0-2.0 mm have unacceptable error. A method using deconvolution to obtain the impulse response of a scattering object is investigated to improve the performance of the skin-sensing algorithm. The new method employs a calibration step using a perfect electric conductor. Application to simulated data shows success in reducing the error percentage in both breast skin location and thickness estimates by more than half.

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
