A process for the automatic recognition of abnormalities in anatomical structures is described together with a processing system and a computer program for implementing the aforesaid process, comprising the operations of: acquiring (10) a plurality of two-dimensional images of at least one portion of a patient's body capable of forming a three-dimensional representation of at least one anatomical structure under observation, segmenting (20) a region of interest in the said three-dimensional representation which potentially contains anomalies, selecting (30, 40) volume image elements (voxels) from the segmented region which are likely to form a part of abnormalities in the anatomical structure represented, on the basis of predetermined morphological parameters, agglomerating (60) the said voxels into analysis units on the basis of the distribution of the spatial density of the voxels selected, and classifying (70) the said analysis units as elements suspected of being parts of abnormalities or as elements which are not part of abnormalities.
