Clinical takeaway

Most abnormal finding wins.

When to use

When one patient has several breast imaging modalities and needs a single overall assessment.

How it works

Overall = most abnormal ACR modality; hierarchy 1<2<3<6<0<4A<4B<4C<5. CEUS is advisory only.

Key points

  • Most abnormal finding wins.
  • Hierarchy 1<2<3<6<0<4<5.
  • Suspicious only on MRI/CEM → second-look US.
  • CEUS is supplementary.

Worked calculation

The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
