The CALMA (ComputerAssisted Library for MAmmography) project was born as a
collaboration between radiologists and physicists. Its goal is to collect a
set of digital mammographic images and to work out a suitable Computed Ass

Italian collaboration among the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare sect
ions of Bologna, Pisa, Torino, Udine and Trento and the Hospitals of Bari,
Bologna, Livorno, Udine and Trento. Some preliminary results obtained in th
