American Association of Radiologists (American College of Radiology - ACR) introduced a unique and a standard terminology in radiological diagnosis of breast disease calling it the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System or abbreviated BIRADS. The aim of the paper is to present a modified version of BIRADS classification provided by the American College of Radiology as a standard glossary of radiological terms in the radiological diagnosis of breast disease.
