Last years studies made by researchers from over the world show that fractal geometry is a viable alternative for image analysis. Fractal features of natural forms give to fractal analysis new valences in various fields, medical imaging being a very important one. This paper intend to prove that fractal dimension, as a way to characterize the complexity of a form, can be used for diagnosis of mammographic lesions classified BI-RADS 4, further investigations being not necessary. The experiments made on 30 cases classified BI-RADS 4 confirmed that 89% of benign lesions have an average fractal dimension under the threshold 1.4, meanwhile malign lesions are characterized, in a similar percentage, by an average fractal dimension over that threshold.
