A method for the detection and classification of microcalcification clusters in digital mammogramswhich comprises the following steps: obtaining one or more digital mammograms pre-processing the one or more digital mammograms by eliminating the noise from each one or more digital mammograms detecting the points that are potential microcalcifications represented by their centroids, in the one or more pre-processed digital mammograms identifying each mass center of potential microcalcifications as a microcalcification or non-microcalcification identifying microcalcification clusters, using an algorithm for locating microcalcification cluster and classifying each cluster into the classes benign or malignant.
