AB We propose a model to simulate clustered microcalcifications on digital mammograms. The simulation model is based on the gray-level, size and number of  microcalcifications  per  cluster.  All  the  parameters  describing  the  individual  microcalcifications  and  clusters  were  randomly  sampled  within  a  wide  range  of  values,  the  exception  being  the  center  of  the  cluster;  this  was  interactively  positioned  to  ensure  the  location  of  all  the  microcalcifications  inside  the  breast.  Subsequently,  a  database  of  clustered  microcalcifications  was  created.  These  clusters    of    microcalcifications    from    this    database    were    tested    from    indistinguishability from real ones. Two radiologists and one physicist were asked to  indicate  wether  the  microcalcifications  were  either  real  or  simulated.  Results  (χ2 test)  indicate  that  there  was  not  statistical  and  significant  difference  between  real and simulated clustered microcalcifications.
