BI RADS - (pronounced) reporting system used to describe the results of a mammography, breast ultrasound, or breast MRI in a standardized way. BI-RADS classifies test results into one of seven categories, ranging from normal or benign (not cancer) to highly suspect or malignant (cancer). Each category includes follow-up recommendations to help manage an individual's care. For mammograms, BI-RADS includes four additional categories that describe the degree of apparent breast density, ranging from little or no dense tissue to very dense tissue.
