arXiv:2610.00421v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated classification of brain tumors from MRI is a heavily published application of deep learning in medical imaging, with reported accuracies on public benchmarks routinely exceeding 98%. However, accuracy does not capture a critical dimension of benchmark quality: dataset integrity, defined as the independence of test from training data at the image, patient, and acquisition-source levels. We introduce a three-layer contamination framework comprising duplicate, patient, and source-label leakage to assess the public corpora on which this l
