Breast mass characterisation on MR Mammography
Fischer Score
Fischer score of 0 and1 points Category I (Negative)
score of 2 points Category II (Benign)
score of 3 points Category III (Probably benign)
score of 4 and 5 points Category IV (Suspicious)
score of 6 , 7 and 8 points Category V (Highly suggestive of malignancy)
MRI BIRADS
Enhancing mass with clear malignant features on morphological assessment ( i.e., a stellate shape or borders with spicules or a rim internal architexture ) irrespective of enhancement kinetics.
BIRADS 5
Enhancing focal mass showing indeterminate or suspicious morphology, but none of the previously mentioned features
if kinetics pattern III , BIRADS 5
if kinetics pattern II , BIRADS 4
if kinetics pattern I , BIRADS 3
Enhancing focal mass showing benign shape and border characteristics
if benign internal architecture BIRADS 2
if suspicious enhancement and kinetics pattern I or II , BIRADS 2/3
if suspicious enhancement and kinetics pattern III BIRADS 4
Combined use of both these parameters is more accurate in lesion characterisation

Hi,
I want to share the interesting cases that I come across my clinical practice.
You can post your views regarding the images.
Good suggestions will be appreciated.
