Clinical Outcomes of Mammographic BI-RADS 3 Lesions in the Community Hospital Setting

Per the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) manual, a lesion designated as BI-RADS 3 should have less than a 2% chance of becoming malignancy. With this study, we evaluated the outcome of patients given a BI-RADS 3 designation in the community hospital. Specifically, whether our cancer detection rate for BI-RADS 3 lesions was less than 2% and comparable to rates obtained at other institutions.
