BI-RADS Lexicon
Calcifications
Calcifications are described as being typically benign or suspicious morphology. Calcifications are also described in terms of distribution.
15
BI-RADS Lexicon
• Draw a right CC view with pleomorphic calcifications in a linear distribution, vascular calcifications, and skin calcifications.
19
BI-RADS Lexicon
• Draw a right MLO view with fine linear or fine linear branching calcifications in a segmental distribution.
