The cytoscreening of Pap smears is important for the prevention of cervical cancer. Image processing and pattern recognition algorithms can be applied to improvement of probably abnormal cells detection. The development such algorithms is necessary using real and synthetic images. The fractal based generator of the synthetic images is proposed in this paper.
