Background: The study of the breast has evolved rapidly since the incorporation of x-rays. The emergence of the mammographic technique is the most important milestone in the history of diagnosis and prevention of breast disease. Mortality from breast cancer at the beginning of the 20th century was quite high. Currently, the early diagnosis of breast cancer has increased the survival rates caused by it. The BI-RADS system created in 1933 has made it possible to standardize the lexicon of the different breast lesions and their classification in the radiological report.
