Abstract
In this paper we describe a rnicrocalcification detection scheme using non-linear filtering. Our scheme uses a combination of two highly non-linear filters: one for image enhancement, and one for the actual detection of the microcalcifications. Results of our method on the Nijmegen mammographic image database are given.
