What does BI-RADS 1 indicate?

BI-RADS is a standardized system radiologists use to describe breast imaging results. When the study is categorized as negative, there are no suspicious findings. The image appears normal with no masses, distortions, or suspicious calcifications, and no abnormal enhancement that would raise concern for cancer. Because nothing looks worrisome, no additional imaging or biopsy is indicated beyond routine screening. The other descriptors imply increasing concern: a benign finding that still requires follow-up, a finding suspicious enough to biopsy, or one highly suspicious for malignancy. In short, BI-RADS 1 means a negative study with no suspicious findings.
