Accuracy of classification of breast ultrasound findings on criteria used for description in BI-RADS for breast ultrasound

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of categorization based on scoring breast ultrasound findings for malignancy on analogue criteria used for BI-RADS breast ultrasound. Materials and methods: Breast ultrasound was performed in 2462 patients at our unit. Sonographic findings were scored using analogue criteria as in BI-RADS for breast ultrasound (mass shape, margin, orientation, posterior acoustic, lesion boundary, echo pattern). Each lesion was described using these features and categorized in the categories 1 to 5 according to BI-RADS for breast ultrasound. Final categorization and biop…
