N2 - The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) was first initiated in the late 1980s in order to standardize reporting, improve report organization, and to monitor outcomes for more clear, concise, and uniform communication of breast imaging findings. In the BI-RADS 5th edition, several changes and new additions have been made to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lexicon, reflecting increased utilization and availability of breast MRI in clinical practice. Understanding the role and appropriate utilization of breast MRI and the BI-RADS lexicon could help with interpretation and effective communication of MRI findings as well as preparing for incorporation of more advanced imaging techniques. In this comprehensive review of the changes and new descriptors in the MRI section of the fifth edition of BI-RADS with pictorial examples, the reader would be able to achieve improved understanding of the MRI BI-RADS lexicon and its appropriate applications.
