Résumé

To standardize mammographic reporting, the American College of Radiology mammography developed the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) lexicon. However, wide variability is observed in practice in the application of the BIRADS terminology and this leads to classification errors. This review analyses the reasons for variations in BIRADS mammography, describes the types of errors made by readers with illustrated examples, and details BIRADS category 3 which is the most difficult category to use in practice.
