The assessment categories were initially developed for mammography and later adapted for use with MRI and ultrasound findings. The summary of each category, given below, is nearly identical for all three modalities. Category 6 was added in the 4th edition of the BI-RADS. BI-RADS assessment categories are: [2] 0: Incomplete; 1: Negative; 2: Benign
After describing the findings, the radiologist provides a final assessment ranging from 0 to 6: BI-RADS 0 indicates an incomplete assessment which needs additional imaging. BI-RADS 1 & 2 indicate a negative and benign screen mammogram respectively. BI-RADS 3 indicates probably benign. [53] BI-RADS 4 indicates suspicious for malignancy.
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 ...
Similar to the triple test score, a lower scoring on BI-RADS (i.e. 1 or 2) is indicative of a benign screening while a high scoring (i.e. 5 or 6) is indicative of malignancy. [2] Unlike the triple test score which scores three different exams, BI-RADS focuses on evaluating findings from one exam: mammograms.
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]
LCIS is identified in 0.5% to 1.5% of benign breast biopsies. These biopsies are often done in response to suspicious mammographic findings, as discussed in the Diagnosis section of this article. LCIS is identified in 1.8% to 2.5% of all breast biopsies (including those that show histologic evidence of other lobular or ductal neoplasia. [13]
Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign tumor composed of a biplastic proliferation of both stromal and epithelial components. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] This biplasia can be arranged in two growth patterns: pericanalicular (stromal proliferation around epithelial structures) and intracanalicular (stromal proliferation compressing the epithelial structures ...
Benign liver tumors generally develop on normal or fatty liver, are single or multiple (generally paucilocular), have distinct delineation, with increased echogenity (hemangiomas, benign focal nodular hyperplasia) or absent, with posterior acoustic enhancement effect (cysts), have distinct delineation (hydatid cyst), lack of vascularization or show a characteristic circulatory pattern ...
