The American College of Radiology (ACR) has established the Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System (BI-RADS�) to guide the breast cancer diagnostic routine. Radiologists sometimes refer to each BI-RADS� category as a "level."
Category 0 Need Additional Imaging Evaluation
Category 1 Negative
Category 2 Benign Finding
Category 3 Probably Benign Finding – Short Interval Follow-Up Suggested
Category 4 Suspicious Abnormality – Biopsy Should Be Considered
Category 5 Highly Suggestive of Malignancy – Appropriate Action Should Be Taken

A BIRAD category 4 on mammogram is defined as: Suspicious abnormality. Most category 4 abnormalities are benign but a biopsy may be the only way to identify the 25-50% of these cases that may turn out to be malignant. The BIRAD reading is determined by the radiologist's level of suspicion.
