Cancer is among the "Big Three" types of diagnosis most vulnerable to misdiagnosis. This study aimed to reduce false positives and false negatives by reading three or more consecutive radiological scans of patients with cancer. Scans were read by human readers and artificial intelligence; reading three consecutive scans improved accuracy when compared to reading only two consecutive scans.
