Abstract

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a widely accepted functional breast imaging modality. With the inclusion of this modality in the BI-RADS Atlas, this article provides a pictorial review of the newly adopted lexicon, along with the appropriate application of assessment categories and recommendations. By the end of the pictorial review, readers should be able to recognize common CEM findings and accurately use the BI-RADS lexicon.

Keywords: BI-RADS lexicon; CEM; contrast-enhanced mammography; enhancing asymmetry; reporting.
