It is not enough just to do mammography, but perform a quality one. American Association of Radiologists (American College of Radiology - ACR) introduced a unique and a standard terminology in radiological diagnosis of breast disease calling it the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System or abbreviated BIRADS. The aim of the paper is to present a modified version of BIRADS classification provided by the American College of Radiology as a standard glossary of radiological terms in the radiological diagnosis of breast disease. The paper material consists of the literature reports and more than 30.000 mammographies performed in the period 1995-2009 in the Radiology Center (former Institute of Radiology) of Clinical Center in Niš. The answer to the question about standardization of terminology is given in the diagnosis of diseases of the breast imaging. BIRADS is shown as a standard glossary of terminology provided by the American College of Radiology. BIRADS is encoded conclusion of breast disease. BIRADS is the standard model of terminology in the imaging diagnosis of breast disease. In the Republic of Serbia, BIRADS is in use in many diagnostic institutions.
