## Resource

BI-RADS isn't just getting an update -it's setting up a new foundation for the future of breast imaging. The first major BI-RADS update in more than a decade has arrived - and it's much more than a terminology refresh. BI-RADS v2025 reflects how breast imaging has evolved, bringing greater consistency across modalities while supporting a future for more personalized breast cancer screening and care. In this episode, Maddi and Fatima Elahi, DO sit down with Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, Chair of the ACR Commission on Breast Imaging, and Georgia Spear, MD, Chair of Government Relations for the ACR Breast Commission, to unpack the biggest changes in BI-RADS v2025, the spirited debates behind the new lexicon, and what these updates mean for radiologists in everyday practice. But the conversation goes far beyond reporting terminology, exploring the shift toward personalized, risk-based screening, the growing role of breast density, and why advocacy efforts like the Find It Early Act may shape the future of breast cancer detection just as much as the imaging itself.
