Abstract

: The main advantage of the BI-RADS system is that when correctly applied, the ACR and BI-RADS classifications are the only necessary tools for a practical and scientific communication between radiologists and clinicians regarding the breast findings. The BI-RADS provides a common standardized language of communication by minimizing subjective interpretations. A non-specialist clinician, without an in-depth knowledge of breast imaging, should be assisted on how to manage or refer patients based on standard algorithms. Dedicated breast clinicians, despite their high level of knowledge and experience regarding breast disease and management, are not radiologists; therefore, the BI-RADS can help them organize a follow-up and perform further diagnostic examinations. Besides, radiologists who are specialized in using different modalities communicate better with each other about breast images if the BI-RADS terminology and management guidelines are applied. In this study, we present a concise and simplified description for all sections of the BI-RADS to facilitate its understanding and practical use for all practitioners, not only breast radiologists.

乳房成像报告和数据系统(BI-RADS)变得简单

：BI-RADS系统的主要优点是，如果正确应用，ACR和BI-RADS分类是放射科医生和临床医生之间就乳腺检查结果进行实用和科学交流的唯一必要工具。BI-RADS通过尽量减少主观解释，提供了一种通用的标准化沟通语言。非专业临床医生，如果对乳腺成像没有深入的了解，应该在如何根据标准算法管理或转诊患者方面得到帮助。专职的乳腺临床医生，尽管他们在乳腺疾病和管理方面有很高的知识和经验，但他们不是放射科医生；因此，BI-RADS可以帮助他们组织随访并进行进一步的诊断检查。此外，如果应用BI-RADS术语和管理指南，专门使用不同模式的放射科医生可以更好地就乳腺图像进行沟通。在这项研究中，我们对BI-RADS的所有部分进行了简明和简化的描述，以便于所有从业者理解和实际使用，而不仅仅是乳腺放射科医生。

期刊介绍： The Iranian Journal of Radiology is the official journal of Tehran University of Medical Sciences and the Iranian Society of Radiology. It is a scientific forum dedicated primarily to the topics relevant to radiology and allied sciences of the developing countries, which have been neglected or have received little attention in the Western medical literature. This journal particularly welcomes manuscripts which deal with radiology and imaging from geographic regions wherein problems regarding economic, social, ethnic and cultural parameters affecting prevalence and course of the illness are taken into consideration. The Iranian Journal of Radiology has been launched in order to interchange information in the field of radiology and other related scientific spheres. In accordance with the objective of developing the scientific ability of the radiological population and other related scientific fields, this journal publishes research articles, evidence-based review articles, and case reports focused on regional tropics. Iranian Journal of Radiology operates in agreement with the below principles in compliance with continuous quality improvement: 1-Increasing the satisfaction of the readers, authors, staff, and co-workers. 2-Improving the scientific content and appearance of the journal. 3-Advancing the scientific validity of the journal both nationally and internationally. Such basics are accomplished only by aggregative effort and reciprocity of the radiological population and related sciences, authorities, and staff of the journal.
