Scan Medical Insurance

If a body scan says that someone has a tumor, what is the likelihood it won't be there when doing a rescan?

Let's say someone goes to the doctor's, they recommend a body scan, and the technicians say that there is a dangerous tumor. Then that person goes in for a follow-up scan a little later and it shows that there is no tumor? How likely is that to happen? How often does that happen?

1. It could happen, but a biopsy would be next and this would confirm...
2. A whole body scan often shows something minor. What should follow is a close scan of the area concerned.
