Abstract

The MR Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) lexicon of the American College of Radiology (ACR) includes a new lesion category defined as non-masslike enhancement. The purpose of this paper is to review the definition of this new entity, illustrate the main imaging features described in the BI-RADS lexicon and to propose a diagnostic approach based on data from the literature in order to achieve diagnosis and optimal patient management.
