ABSTRACT
BI-RADS (Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System) is meant to transform breast imaging language to a universal one by defining the related descriptive terms, the statistical definitions, and providing recommendations for radiological reports and data archiving system. The latest version covers three imaging modalities, i.e., mammography, ultrasound and MRI. It cannot replace personal experience, good knowledge of the literature and continuous medical education. Despite its limits, it has proven to be a useful tool for communication between physicians of different specialties and researchers. The knowledge of its basic elements is necessary for all physicians who deal with breast diseases and breast cancer screening.
