A method includes obtaining a first image of a patient procured during an X-ray, analyzing the first image for one or more unmasked anomalies, shifting the first image to provide a shifted image, obtaining a residual image comprising a combination of the first image and the shifted image, and analyzing the residual image for one or more masked anomalies, where the one or more masked anomalies include anomalies that went undetected in the analysis of the first image for the one or more unmasked anomalies due to a presence of one or more masking features in the first image.
