Can a second opinion really change my BI-RADS 4 score?

Reviewed by the Medical Editorial Board on

A second opinion may help make unclear breast imaging findings easier to understand. Another radiologist carefully reviews the original images to provide an additional perspective.

They also look for non cancerous conditions, such as radial scars or fat necrosis, which can sometimes appear suspicious on a scan.

Any decisions about biopsy or treatment should be made with your treating doctor.
