黑料网 BI-RADS® Atlas Permission Agreement 

Disclaimer

The 黑料网 (黑料网) Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System Atlas (BI-RADS® Atlas) is the product of a collaborative effort among members of various committees of the 黑料网.

BI-RADS® suggests a standardized method for breast imaging reporting. This system is not meant to dictate individual case management decisions.

All referring physicians and radiologists should be aware of the benefits and limitations of the application of imaging techniques. Imaging techniques classified as investigational by the FDA have not been considered in developing the BI-RADS® Atlas; however, study of new equipment and applications should be encouraged. The ultimate decision regarding breast imaging procedures and treatment must be made by the referring physician and radiologist in light of all the circumstances presented in an individual examination.
