Breast imaging reporting and data system, commonly known by the abbreviation BI-RADS, a standardized system for reporting breast radiology.
The abbreviation BI-RADS may also be written BIRADS.[1]
Score and management
It is characterized by:[2]
| Score | Meaning | Typical management |
|---|---|---|
| BIRADS0 | incomplete | come back for more imaging |
| BIRADS1 | negative | |
| BIRADS2 | benign finding(s) | |
| BIRADS3 | probably benign | often short follow-up |
| BIRADS4 | suspicious abnormality | needs biopsy |
| BIRADS5 | highly suggestive of malignancy | biopsy to confirm impression |
| BIRADS6 | pathologist says there is a malignancy | excision |
Subdivision of BIRADS4
BIRADS4 is can be subdivided into:[3]
| Score | Meaning | Risk - based on Sanders et al.[4] | PPV - based on Elverici et al.[5] |
|---|---|---|---|
| BIRADS4A | suspicious abnormality - low risk | 10% DCIS | 19.5% (malignant) |
| BIRADS4B | suspicious abnormality - intermediate risk | 21% DCIS | 41.5% (malignant) |
| BIRADS4C | suspicious abnormality - high risk | 70% DCIS | 74.3% (malignant) |
