Standardized structured breast MRI report: a technical note

Currently, the American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5thEdition lexicon is widely used for the interpretation of breast lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).It is known worldwide and should be used by all radiologists who specialize in breast imaging.However, it is not always easy to interpret the specific imaging features of the BI-RADS ACR categories.In addition, other systematic methods can improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast MRI, such as the Kaiser score, a widely used clinical decision aid based on the BI-RADS lexicon, which has a high diagnostic accuracy in classifying mass and non-mass breast lesions.The MRI report should be concise, clear and provide important details about the breast lesions.This technical note aims to provide a standardized structured report template using the ACR BI-RADS 5th Edition lexicon and Kaiser score to increase clarity and completeness.
