I want to give some conclusions here
0:03
and thank everyone for their attention.
0:05
I know this is a, I think, a topic a lot of people
0:08
don't like that much, and I'm hoping that going
0:11
over some really classic imaging examples of
0:16
BI-RADS 3 on mammogram, ultrasound, and MRI will
0:20
help to standardize our use of BI-RADS 3 and
0:24
make sure that we're only
0:26
using it when it's appropriate.
0:28
I want to emphasize a few points before we finish.
0:31
So first is that we only want to be using
0:34
BI-RADS 3 for specific imaging findings that have
0:39
evidence that there's a chance of a malignancy greater
0:41
than 0% but less than or equal to 2%.
0:44
This is not an intermediate category that we
0:46
should be using when we're just unsure what to do.
0:49
It should be to follow a very
0:50
specific imaging findings.
0:54
We only want to use BI-RADS 3
0:56
after we've done a full diagnostic workup.
0:58
So we never give BI-RADS 3
1:00
directly from a screening exam.
1:03
And finally, I just want to emphasize that we
1:05
have really good data for these indications for
1:07
BI-RADS 3 on mammogram and ultrasound, and we
1:10
should feel very confident that it's very safe
1:13
to use them for the imaging
1:14
findings that we reviewed today.
1:17
The data for BI-RADS 3 on MRI is still evolving
1:20
and I think this could definitely change in
1:22
the coming years, and we want to be flexible
1:25
in our use of it and following the literature
1:28
so we can make sure that we continue to use
1:30
BI-RADS 3 in an appropriate fashion on MRI.
1:33
I want to thank everybody so much for their
1:37
attention, and I hope that I, uh, I was
1:40
able to clarify this challenging topic.
1:43
Thank you.
