Example of MRI findings of a previous BIRADS 3 examination. A 63-year-old patient underwent follow-up of a periareolar solid nodule of 15 × 6 mm in the right breast classified as BIRADS 3 by previous examinations. Top: T1-W axial (a), T2 VISTA axial (b) and ADC map (c), which show a bilobed hypointense nodule in the union of the upper quadrants of the right breast with no restricted diffusivity. T1-W sequence shows a scattered glandular tissue classified as ACR D, occupying the four quadrants. Bottom: initial postcontrast subtraction (d) without enhancement and delayed subtraction (e) showing slight enhancement at the nodule location, which corresponds to the kinetic response described by the wash-in map (f). Thus, it was assigned BIRADS 2
