About this calculator
The BI-RADS calculator is a useful tool for classifying mammograms and helping to identify possible lesions in the breast. The BI-RADS classification is used worldwide to provide a common language for communication between radiologists and patients.
The BI-RADS classification ranges from 0 to 6, with 0 indicating that the image cannot be read or that the image is not complete, 1 indicating non-malignant lesions, 2 indicating lesions with a high probability of being benign, 3 indicating lesions without a high probability of being malignant, 4 indicating lesions with a high probability of being malignant, 5 indicating highly suggestive malignant lesions, and 6 indicating biopsied lesions.
It's essential to note that the BI-RADS classification is not a diagnosis, but rather a tool to help identify possible lesions and determine the next step. Additionally, it's crucial to consult a doctor or radiologist for a precise and reliable reading of the mammogram.
