Breast cancer is a common form of malignant tumors in women.It shows clearly that early discovery,early diagnosis and early treatment of breast cancer can significantly increase the chance of survival and reduce breast cancer mortality for patients.One of the key techniques of early diagnosis is to find microcalcifications in digital mammograms as early as possible and decides whether it will become malignant.This paper summarizes the methods for detecting microcalcifications in digitized mammogram films and makes a prospect for its recent development.
