Claim 0:
1. A medical image reading assistant apparatus for assisting reading of a medical image, the medical image reading assistant apparatus comprising a computing system, wherein the computing system comprises:
a receiver interface configured to receive a first medical image included in a time series set of medical images and a second medical image following the first medical image; and
at least one processor configured to:
generate follow-up information between first findings on the first medical image and second findings on the second medical image by comparing locations of the first findings and locations of the second findings, wherein the first findings and the second findings are detected using one or more artificial neural networks;
select at least some of the first findings as first valid findings to be provided to a user based on a first threshold of diagnostic assistant information for each of the first findings;
set a second threshold of diagnostic assistant information for each of the second findings based on the follow-up information;
select second valid findings, among the second findings on the second medical image, to be provided to the user wherein the second valid findings are selected as a first subset of the second findings that correspond to the first findings based on the follow-up information by applying the second threshold; and
select third valid findings among the second findings on the second medical image, wherein the third valid findings are selected as a second subset of the second findings that do not correspond to the first findings based on the follow-un information by applying the first threshold,

wherein the at least one processor provides the first valid findings and the second valid findings to the user via a user interface.
