1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating detection of anatomical abnormalities in a breast, comprising the computer-implemented steps of: receiving a medical image of the breast, the medical image including a background region bordering a breast tissue region along a skinline thereof; processing the medical image to detect an inward-facing retraction along said skinline of the breast tissue region and that satisfies pre-determined criteria, the inward-facing retraction being potentially indicative of an anatomical abnormality within the breast; and displaying on a display monitor first information representative of said medical image of the breast and second information identifying a location of said detected inward-facing retraction on the medical image of the breast.
