Learning Objectives 1. Review the overview of the current American College of Radiology (______)* Reporting and Data Systems (RADS). 2. Recognize the systematic scoring and modifiers of RADS. 3. Review the general themes and key imaging components of each system. 4. Identify additional resources for more in-depth training and education. Note. —*Reprinted, with permission, from the ACR.
Why Standardized Reporting? • Unifies the language between radiologists and clinicians • Allows consistent data collection and improvement of diagnostic parameters • Helps to standardize care • Adds value by providing clinical recommendations and guidance
What is ______RADS? • RADS include systems with standardized terminology, assessment, and reporting endorsed by the ACR. • The predominant focus is on cancer imaging (breast, colon, head and neck, liver, lung, ovarian, prostate, and thyroid cancers), with additional systems focusing on coronary artery disease and head injuries (pending publication). • Systems were devised by expert consensus and may be updated periodically.
“The goal of the____ RADS is to reduce the variability of terminology in reports and to ease communication between radiologists and referring physicians. ” 1

Future Direction of 1 ______RADS
Current Limitations • Adoption varies from institution to May be improved by institution, as does experience among • Combining oncology RADS to five main radiologists types to avoid confusion. For example: • 1 = benign, 2 = likely benign, 3 = • Lack of consistency in terminology indeterminate, 4 = likely malignant, 5 and structure. For example: = malignant • lesion or observation • category, score, or level • Standardizing the terminology used for • category ranges: 0, 1– 4, 5, 6 nondiagnostic and negative studies • Nondiagnostic findings represented by 0, N, or NC • Limiting RADS to cancer imaging
Future Direction • ACR is currently changing the organization and approval process for RADS efforts in order to deal with growing demands. • Additional RADS are in varying stages of development. • The Myeloma Response Assessment and Diagnosis System (MY-RADS)13 (wholebody MRI for myeloma), Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS)14 (MRI for bladder cancer), Metastasis Reporting and Data System for Prostate Cancer (MET-RADS)15 (whole-body MRI for metastatic prostate cancer) are recent non–ACR endorsed systems. • Incorporation of standardized templates and terminology with vendor-provided ACRassist • Integration with clinical society guidelines to increase adoption • For example, LI-RADS with the AASLD and BI-RADS with the American Society of Breast Surgeons guidelines

Summary • The ACR-endorsed RADS are a set of guidelines for the evaluation and interpretation of disease-oriented imaging studies. • Systems may be periodically updated to improve diagnostic parameters, and new systems are in various stages of development. • Clinical adoption of ACR RADS varies. • BI-RADS, followed by PI-RADS and LI-RADS, have the greatest acceptance. • Integration of RADS into multidisciplinary guidelines has the potential to increase the field of radiology’s impact on clinical care.
