Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a great opportunity to better understand the language that may appear in your mammogram results.
If you've ever read your mammogram report, you may have noticed a BI-RADS number. It's a standardized scale your Radiologist uses to describe what they see, from 0 to 6.
Most results fall into category 1 (negative) or category 2 (benign findings). A 0 simply means additional Imaging is needed to complete the evaluation, and it isn't a diagnosis. Your Radiologist assigns the category, and your physician can walk you through what it means for your next steps.
