1. A method for incorporating the output detections of a computer-aided detection system for detecting suspicious regions in a medical image with observed detections of a human interpreter of the same medical image without reducing sensitivity, comprising the steps of:

  • obtaining said observed detections to form a first set of detections;

    obtaining said output detections to form a second set of detections wherein said output detections are displayed in a printed image;

    accepting some output detections in said second set to form a third set of detections;

    combining said first set and said third set to form a fourth set of detections; and

    providing an output based on said fourth set of detections.
