1. A method of detecting one or more spiculated masses in an image using a processor comprising the steps of: receiving the image in the processor; filtering the received image using one or more Gaussian filters to detect one or more central mass regions; filtering the received image using one or more spiculated lesion filters to detect where the one or more spiculated masses converge; filtering the received image using one or more Difference-of-Gaussian filters to suppress one or more linear structures; creating an enhanced image showing the detected spiculated masses by combining an output from all of the filtering steps; and providing the enhanced image to an output of the processor.
