ABSTRACT
The BI-RADS System was first published by the American College
of Radiology in 1993 and its use was standarized in 1995.
On April 2001, the Mexican “Diario Oficial de la Federacion”
published by the mexican governement recommends
this system to be used on all mammogram reports.
It includes six categories: Type 0, incomplete study; Type
1, negative for malignancy; Type 2, Benign findings. Routine
mammogram is recommended; Type 3, Probably benign.
Six months follow up is recommended; Type 4, low
probability of malignancy. Should undergo biopsy. And, Type
5, high probability of malignancy.
