BI-RADS indicates Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System; Lung-RADS, Lung Computed Tomography Screening Reporting and Data System; NA, not applicable; TI-RADS, Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System. aIn this category the American College of Radiology also includes the following descriptors of calcifications in mammography reports: coarse heterogeneous, skin, vascular, dystrophic, and suture. These were excluded from the current table as they do not translate well to descriptors of melanocytic lesions but are included here for completeness.
