Breast radiological cases: training with BIRADS classification

Eur J Radiol. 2005 Apr;54(1):97-106. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2004.11.013.

Abstract

The American College of Radiology has established guidelines for outcomes monitoring known as the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System. The last edition of the BIRADS classification includes mammography, but also ultrasonography and MRI. Radiologists must be used to the BIRADS lexicon and the BIRADS assessment, in order to clarify mammography reports and to facilitate communication with the other physicians. This work is a training on 20 mammography cases to be familiar with the BIRADS classification.
