TL;DR
BI-RADS is moderately successful in providing a standardized language for physicians to describe lesion morphology and efforts to reevaluate specific terms and the diagnostic significance assigned to calcification descriptors may prove useful in maintaining the promise of improved quality with the BI-R ADS standardized mammography lexicon.
Abstract
BI-RADS is moderately successful in providing a standardized language for physicians to describe lesion morphology.

A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

The BI-RADS lexicon provides a standardized language between mammographers and an ANN that can improve the PPV of breast biopsy and was significantly greater than the specificity of radiologists.

Questions regarding the application of the kappa statistic in assessing the reliability of measures to classify patients are discussed and suggestions for a more comprehensive approach to the study of the psychometric properties of measures of patient classification are offered.
