Abstract

Interpretation of mammograms is done according to the BI-RADS (Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System) classification, which was introduced by the American Association of Radiologists as a unique and standard terminology in the radiological diagnosis of breast diseases. In use are: BI-RADS 0, BI-RADS 1, BI-RADS 2, BI-RADS 3, BI-RADS 4, BI-RADS 5 and BI-RADS 6. Within the framework of organized breast cancer screening in Serbia, in use is BI-RADS 1, BI-RADS 2, BI-RADS 4, and BI-RADS 5, while categories BI-RADS 0, BI-RADS 3 and BI-RADS 6 are not in use. The goal of the work is the interpretation of mammograms according to the BI-RADS classification, while the material of the work consists of literal reports and over 500,000 mammograms performed from 1995 to 2022. in the Radiology Center of the University Clinical Center in Niš. The authors conclude that BI-RADS represents a modern dictionary of mammography in the form of a numerically coded conclusion with the level of suspicion of breast cancer.

Key words: mammography, cardinal signs, indication, BI-RADS
