BIRADS Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System
Mammogram Details and Diagnosis
Your mammogram report includes many technical details, and one section will show you a BIRADS score. This indicates the radiologist's opinion of the absence or likelihood of breast cancer. Understanding this score is important to your diagnosis and treatment, if any is needed. Discuss your results with your doctor to make sure you understand what it means for your breast health.
BIRADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) was developed by the American College of Radiologists as a standard of comparison for rating mammograms and breast ultrasound images. It sets up a classification for Level of Suspicion (LOS) for the possibility of breast cancer.
