  • Title: Updates and revisions to the BI-RADS magnetic resonance imaging lexicon.
    Author: Edwards SD, Lipson JA, Ikeda DM, Lee JM.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am; 2013 Aug; 21(3):483-93. PubMed ID: 23928239.
    Abstract:
    This article summarizes the updates and revisions to the second edition of the BI-RADS MRI lexicon. A new feature in the lexicon is background parenchymal enhancement and its descriptors. Another major focus is on revised terminology for masses and non-mass enhancement. A section on breast implants and associated lexicon terms has also been added. Because diagnostic breast imaging increasingly includes multimodality evaluation, the new edition of the lexicon also contains revised recommendations for combined reporting with mammography and ultrasound if these modalities are included as comparison, and clarification on the use of final assessment categories in MR imaging.
