They only had positive samples, so they could and did only report true and false positives

While they only had positive samples, the AIs sometimes reported cancer in the wrong location, meaning a double whammy: It failed to detect the cancer, and misdiagnosed a non-cancer.

From the paper:

> Two cancers had abnormality scores greater than 10 but were not correctly localized and were therefore categorized as AI-missed.
