BI-RADS 6 is one of seven categories of the ACR (American College of Radiology) BI-RADS system and is defined as known biopsy-proven malignancy. This category is used when:
- imaging is performed post percutaneous biopsy that demonstrated a malignancy but prior to definitive therapy1
- imaging demonstrates no other abnormalities that might need further investigation other than the known biopsy-proven malignancy1
