Abstract
Tumor/abnormality segmentation from magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) can play a significant role in cancer research and clinical practice. Although accurate tumor segmentation by radiologists is ideal, it is extremely tedious. Experience shows that for MRI database indexing purposes approximate segmentations can be adequate. In this paper, we propose a straightforward, real-time technique to find a bounding box around the brain abnormality in an MR image. Our algorithm exploits left-to-right symmetry of the brain structure. The proposed detection algorithm can play a useful role in indexing and storage of bulk MRI data, as well as provide an initial step or seed to assist algorithms designed to find accurate tumor boundaries.

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
