Breast Imaging BI-RADS Category & Management
BI-RADS category
When to use
Translate an assigned BI-RADS category into the correct management pathway.
How it works
0 incomplete → additional imaging; 1/2 → routine screening; 3 (< 2%) → short-interval follow-up; 4A/4B/4C (2–95%) and 5 (≥ 95%) → biopsy; 6 → definitive treatment.
Key points
- Only categories 0/1/2 are used for screening; 3/4/5/6 follow a diagnostic work-up.
- Category 3 (probably benign) means malignancy < 2% and short-interval follow-up.
- A benign biopsy discordant with imaging in category 4C/5 needs further action.
- Category 4 is sub-divided 4A/4B/4C by the physician's malignancy estimate.
