The Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) MR imaging lexicon standardizes lesion descriptions. This article introduces the lexicon, emphasizing its evolving nature and use as a template for future terminology in breast MRI analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Breast MRI is crucial for detecting and characterizing breast lesions.
  • Standardized terminology is essential for consistent interpretation and reporting.
  • The American College of Radiology (ACR) developed the BI-RADS MR imaging lexicon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the ACR BI-RADS MR imaging lexicon.
  • To highlight the morphologic and kinetic features of breast lesions.
  • To provide a foundational template for evolving lexicon terminology.

Main Methods:

  • Review and introduction of the ACR BI-RADS MR imaging lexicon.
  • Description of key morphologic and kinetic features.
  • Emphasis on the lexicon as a work in progress.

Main Results:

  • The BI-RADS MR imaging lexicon provides standardized terms for breast lesion features.
  • Morphologic and kinetic characteristics are integrated into the lexicon.
  • The lexicon serves as a dynamic template for ongoing development.

Conclusions:

  • The BI-RADS MR imaging lexicon is a valuable tool for standardizing breast MRI reporting.
  • The lexicon requires further development and characterization.
  • Radiologists are encouraged to utilize and contribute to the evolving lexicon.
