BI-RADS-MRI: A Primer

¹ Department of Diagnostic Radiology, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd., Unit 1350, Houston, TX 77230.

OBJECTIVE. Variations in breast MRI techniques and descriptions of morphologic findings led to the development of a breast MRI lexicon. This lexicon, the American College of Radiology's BI-RADS-MRI, includes terminology for describing lesion architecture and enhancement characteristics. We show the use of these descriptors on breast MR images obtained at our institution.

CONCLUSION. BI-RADS-MRI is a common language with which to report MRI findings of studies from different institutions.

Keywords: BI-RADS • breast cancer • dynamic MRI
