BI-RADS classification in mammography – the most common discrepancies and recommendations for practice

The Breast Imaging Report and Data System (BI-RADS) of the American College of Radiology (ACR) is today largely used in most of the countries where breast cancer screening is implemented. It is a tool defined to reduce variability between radiologists when creating the reports in mammography, ultrasonography or MRI. Yet, in daily practice, high variability is observed in the use of BI-RADS which leads to classification errors.
