A BI-RADS classification of 4 or 5 warrants biopsy to further evaluate the offending lesion. [3] Some experts believe that the single BI-RADS 4 classification does not adequately communicate the risk of cancer to doctors and recommend a subclassification scheme: [4] 4A: low suspicion of malignancy, about > 2% to ≤ 10% likelihood of malignancy
BI-RADS 5 indicates highly suggestive of malignancy. BI-RADS 6 is for biopsy-proven breast cancer. [54] BI-RADS 3, 4 and 5 assessments on screening mammograms require further investigation with a second "diagnostic" study. The latter is a more detailed mammogram that allows dedicated attention to the abnormal finding with additional maneuvers ...

The TI-RADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems) are sonographic classification systems which describe the suspicious findings of thyroid nodules. [12] It was first proposed by Horvath et al., [13] based on the BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) concept. Several systems were subsequently proposed and adopted by ...
The British Pediatric Association Classification of Diseases is a system of diagnostic codes used for pediatrics. An extension to ICD-9 was published in 1979. [1] [2] An extension to ICD-10 has also been published. [3] It is the basis for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's six digit codes for reportable congenital conditions. [4]
Europe and other parts of the world use the ICD-10. The root codes for ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM are the same, making it helpful for locating codes for general body systems and disease processes. [2] [3] In ICD-11 the search and coding of any disease, including rare ones is done via the ICD-11 website. [4]
The first version was developed in the early 1980s by Dr James Read, a Loughborough general medical practitioner. [2] The scheme was structured similarly to ICD-9: . each code was composed of four consecutive characters: first character 0-9, A-Z (excepting I and O), remaining three characters 0-9, A-Z/a-z (excepting i,I,o and O) plus up to three trailing period '.' characters
