Dear marknpqw:  BI-RADS (Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System) is a scale used by radiologists to standardize the readings of mammograms. The mammogram is classified according to 5 categories. Category 1 being negative - nothing to comment on, routine screening. Category 5 is highly suggestive of malignancy - very high probablility of malignancy. Appropriate action should be taken.

Birads (breast imaging reporting and data system) is a scale by which radiologists "grade" mammograms. It goes from one to five, where one is entirely normal and five is highly suggestive of showing cancer.
