Zusammenfassung:Provided are computer-implemented methods and corresponding systems for providing a candidate medical finding based on the analysis of a medical image (IM). The methods and systems are based on the following steps:- obtaining (S10) the medical image (IM) depicting a body part of a patient,- generating (S20) a first set of candidate medical findings (CMF1) by subjecting the medical image (IM) to a first medical findings detection process (D-PROC1),- generating (S30) a second set of candidate medical findings (CMF2) by subjecting the medical image (IM) to a second medical findings detection process (D-PROC2) different than the first medical finding detection process (D-PROC1),- obtaining (S40) a region of interest (ROI) in the medical image (IM),- identifying (S50), in the region of interest (ROI), at least one candidate medical finding (ADD-CMF) comprised in the second set of candidate medical findings (CMF2) and not comprised in the first set of candidate medical findings (CMF1), and- providing (S50) the at least one candidate medical finding (ADD-CMF).
