Breast cancer is the most frequent cause of mortality in females1. Mammography is currently the best method for the detection of anomalies. Many clinical studies have confirmed that survival rate is considerably improved if anomalies are detected at early stages2. The first signs of breast cancer are microcalcifications, which are small calcium deposits in the breast tissue. Their detection is a hard task in medical imaging due to several factors such as their irregular form and their small size which varies from 0.1 to 1 mm2,3. They are approximately nodular, but with irregular shape arrangements. Furthermore, microcalcifications frequently appear with a local contrast. This contrast is often low and varies according to the breast tissue type.
