Microcalcifications clusters are subtle signs of breast cancer and are very difficult to diagnose in the mammographic images because of their small size and low contrast with respect to the normal breast tissue. In this paper, we propose an automatic procedure for the identification of microcalcifications clusters to aid the radiologist in the detection of this kind of breast cancer signs.
