CEM BI-RADS Lexicon

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

Another notable change is that there's now a

0:02

lexicon for how to interpret the imaging findings,

0:05

which obviously I've not gone into any information

0:08

about how to interpret the images that we see.

0:11

Mostly the lexicon is based on, is built around

0:14

the low-energy images being similar to mammography

0:17

and the recombined images being similar to MRI.

0:20

So the lexicon is really geared towards

0:22

mammography and MRI, uh, characteristics.

0:25

The main changes are that

0:26

there's not— no focus, there's no...

0:29

The term focus is not included in the CEM lexicon.

0:32

We don't have the characteristics of, um, dark internal

0:35

septations, clustered ring, and we've added a term called

0:39

enhancing asymmetry, which is a finding that you see—

0:42

an area of enhancement that you see only on one view.

0:46

And so with that, this is the summary of

0:48

the talk, so you can always learn more.

0:50

These are some— there are some books

0:52

available, websites, journal articles, and

0:54

feel free to reach out with questions anytime.
