Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System v2025: Key Updates in US
None:
The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS®) US lexicon is a well-established and comprehensive guide for image acquisition, lesion description, characterization, and reporting. BI-RADS® v2025 includes multiple updates reflecting recent advances and practice changes in breast US. The BI-RADS® v2025 edition includes an assessment of glandular tissue component in the tissue composition section and fine-tunes the US lexicon. The addition of a new category of non-mass lesion aids in the characterization of subtle findings that often correlate with imaging findings detected on other imaging modalities, and the discussion of lymph nodes has expanded in depth and scope. This article provides an overview of the changes introduced in BI-RADS® v2025 US.

Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
