Article Title: | Breast MR imaging lexicon updated |
Abstract: | The ACR BI-RADS MRI lexicon incorporates morphologic and kinetic features of lesions identified on breast MR imaging. This brief article is aimed at introducing this material and should not be used as a definitive guide. Because the breast MR imaging lexicon is a work in progress, there are many areas that need exploring and better characterization. It is hoped that the radiologist uses the terms and concepts presented here as a template to which future lexicon terminology can be added. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
