BREAST ULTRASOUND: ACR BIRADS 5th EDITION WALKT...

Mammograms were subjected to double reading by two specialist radiologists with an interest in breast imaging and blinded to identifying patient features, in accordance with international guidelines (American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), 2003 (4th edition)[11]). Since this study was conducted in 2012, and preceded the BI-RADS 5th edition, we used the 2003 descriptive lexicon. A list of patient numbers was submitted to the designated anatomical pathologist, who independently reviewed the specimens and subsequently forwarded the histology results. This process reduced inter-observer variability of histology reports, which were previously reviewed by random pathologists. Breast cancers were defined as multifocal when more than one distinct tumour was detected in the same quadrant and as multicentric when multiple distinct tumours were present in different quadrants of the breast.
