PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus to identify a spicule candidate in a medical image. SOLUTION: The method based on one embodiment enables: the access to digital image data representing an image including a tissue region; the processing of the digital image data by generating at least one line orientation map and at least one line strength map for the tissue region for at least one scale, using separable filters; the calculation of spicule feature values from the at least one line orientation map and the at least one line strength map; and the identification of a spicule candidate from the calculated features values.
