Example of MRI findings of breast lesions categorized as BIRADS 0 and BIRADS 3 by previous examinations. A 43-year-old patient with multiple bilateral findings, most of them simple cysts (white arrows). At the left breast (green arrow), a solid lobulated lesion, hypointense on T1W (a) and T2W (b) sequences, which shows an ADC (c) of 1.43 × 10−3mm2/s, with the contrast medium it shows an homogeneous wash-in pattern (f), with a slight progressive uptake from the initial (d) to delayed (e) postcontrast subtractions, corresponding to a benign lesion with characteristics of fibroadenoma. At the right breast (red arrow), a nodule, hypointense on T1W (a) and hyperintense on T2W (b), which shows no restricted diffusivity and no contrast enhancement. Both lesions were categorized as BIRADS 2
