Well, first the model looks at the entire X-ray and lesions probably do show differently. Maybe it's genetic/sex-based or it's due how lesions develop due environmental factors that are correlated to race or gender. Maybe there's a smaller segment of white people that has the same type of lesion and poor detection.
