New breast masses should not be categorized as BI-RADS 3 in women above 50

The Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADs) introduces a systematic method for defining the findings of breast imaging, including mammography, ultrasound and MRI. The ultimate product is the categorization of the imaging result, and recommendations for further or future assessment and intervention. Actually through the assignment of categories of B1 (normal) and B2 (benign), as well as B4 (suspicious) and B5 (highly suspicious), the next necessary step is almost obvious. Also in B0 (incomplete assessment), there is always a need for additional investigation by imaging.
