BI-RADS 3 arouses controversy, poses management challenges
For breast lesions, BI-RADS 3 allows the possibility of a "wait and see" approach instead of immediate biopsy. Given the growing number of incidental benign findings during screening and clinical breast imaging, this can be a key benefit. But the category also poses management challenges.
