摘要：
Microcalcification detection is widely used for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Nevertheless, mammogram visual analysis is a complex task for expert radiologists. In this paper, we present a new method for computer aided detection of microcalcifications in digital mammograms, The detection is performed on the wavelet transformed image. The calcifications are separated from the background by exploiting the evaluation of Renyi's information at the different decomposition levels of the wavelet transform, Experiments are performed on a standard and publicly available dataset and the results are evaluated with respect to recent achievements reported in the literature.
