Abstract

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is an advanced breast radiology technique, comparable to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In 2022, the American College of Radiology (ACR) published a supplement on the BI-RADS® lexicon for mammography that included specifications for CEM, given its increasing popularity. The aim was to promote consistency in reporting and to encourage future research. However, an official Spanish version does not yet exist. This article reviews and applies a Spanish version of the lexicon, establishing an initial framework for the standardisation of interpreting and report writing for this modality. Future revisions of the lexicon are expected to be based on further experience and research. It should be used systematically to ensure clarity and accuracy in diagnostic reports and assessments.

Resumen

La mamografía con contraste (MC) se ha consolidado como una técnica avanzada en radiología mamaria, comparable a la resonancia magnética. Ante su creciente adopción, el American College of Radiology (ACR) publicó en 2022 un suplemento al léxico BI-RADS® para mamografía que incluye especificaciones para la MC, con el objetivo de promover la uniformidad en los informes y fomentar futuras investigaciones. Sin embargo, aún no existe una versión oficial en español. Este artículo proporciona una revisión y aplicación de dicho léxico adaptado al español, estableciendo un marco inicial para la estandarización de la interpretación y redacción de informes en esta modalidad. Se anticipa que futuras revisiones del léxico se basen en nuevas experiencias y estudios, y se recomienda su uso sistemático para garantizar claridad y precisión en los informes y evaluaciones diagnósticas.
