What does the BI-RADS classification of breast ultrasound and mammogram mean?

  Level 0: Needs to be recalled and re-evaluated in conjunction with other examinations. Indicates that the information obtained from the inspection may not be complete.  Grade I: No abnormality is seen (once a year).  Grade II: benign changes are considered, and regular follow-up is recommended (6 months to 1 year).  Grade III: Benign disease is possible, but a shorter follow-up period is needed (once every 3 to 6 months). The percentage of malignancy at this level is less than 2%.  Grade IV: There are abnormalities, and the possibility of malignant lesions cannot be completely excluded, requiring biopsy for clarification (puncture, surgery).  Grade IVa: low likelihood of predisposition to malignancy.  Grade IVb: moderate likelihood of malignancy.  Grade IVc: high probability of malignancy.  Grade V: High suspicion of malignant lesion (almost identified as malignant disease), requiring surgical excisional biopsy.  Grade VI: Malignant lesion has been confirmed by pathology.
