A BI-RADS classification of 4 or 5 warrants biopsy to further evaluate the offending lesion. [3] Some experts believe that the single BI-RADS 4 classification does not adequately communicate the risk of cancer to doctors and recommend a subclassification scheme: [4] 4A: low suspicion of malignancy, about > 2% to ≤ 10% likelihood of malignancy
BI-RADS 3 indicates probably benign. [53] BI-RADS 4 indicates suspicious for malignancy. BI-RADS 5 indicates highly suggestive of malignancy. BI-RADS 6 is for biopsy-proven breast cancer. [54] BI-RADS 3, 4 and 5 assessments on screening mammograms require further investigation with a second "diagnostic" study. The latter is a more detailed ...
The TI-RADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems) are sonographic classification systems which describe the suspicious findings of thyroid nodules. [12] It was first proposed by Horvath et al., [13] based on the BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) concept. Several systems were subsequently proposed and adopted by ...
A suspicious area on mammography or ultrasound. [9] This may include: Microcalcifications on MRI. [10] BI-RADS score of 4 or 5 on mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. [11] A suspicious hard palpable lump [9] Skin changes like crusting, scaling, or dimpling of the breast, which may signal an underlying breast cancer [9] Abnormal nipple discharge [7] [9]
A score of 1 is assigned to a benign test result, 2 applies to a suspicious test result, and 3 applies to a malignant result. The sum of the scores of all three procedures is the triple test score. If the total summed score from the three tests is 3 to 4 then the diagnosis is most likely benign. A total summed score of 5 is considered suspicious.
Mammography is a common screening method, since it is relatively fast and widely available in developed countries. Mammography is a type of radiography used on the breasts. . It is typically used for two purposes: to aid in the diagnosis of a woman who is experiencing symptoms or has been called back for follow-up views (called diagnostic mammography), and for medical screening of apparently ...
The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (aka LI-RADS) is a quality assurance tool created and trademarked by the American College of Radiology in 2011 to standardize the reporting and data collection of CT and MR imaging patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or primary cancer of the liver cells.

Mammograms depicting four levels of increasing breast density with corresponding mammography sensitivity. Dense breast tissue, also known as dense breasts, is a condition of the breasts where a higher proportion of the breasts are made up of glandular tissue and fibrous tissue than fatty tissue.
