BIRAD classification in breast examinatin

triple assessment of breast is very important during under grate exam

in fact it will be 1 of the question during phase 3A

triple assessment included:

1) clinical examination

2) imaging: ultrasound for those < 35 years old, mammogram for > 35 years old

3) pathological sampling: usually FNAC is sufficient, but sometimes we do request for excisional biopsy or incisional biopsy (very rare)

this topic i will bring it a bit deep, regarding BIRADs classification

this is during imaging, the common language btw radiologist and surgeon, regarding management and follow up of patient.

definitely it won't be asked during under grate exam

but post grate... it could be asked

lots of ppl think that it would be mentioned at the end of radiological report

but if suddenly been asked during exam, surely u will know how insufficient u are..
