The answer to the question about standardization of terminology is given in the diagnosis of diseases of the breast imaging. BIRADS is shown as a standard glossary of terminology provided by the American College of Radiology. BIRADS is encoded conclusion of breast disease. BIRADS is the standard model of terminology in the imaging diagnosis of breast disease. In the Republic of Serbia, BIRADS is in use in many diagnostic institutions.
