C-RADS (from CT colonography)
NI-RADS (head & neck)

The following are not reportable without additional information.
–Breast cases designated BI-RADS 4, 4A, 4B, 4C or BI-RADS 5
–Lung cases designated Lung-RADS 4A," 4B, or 4X
–Liver cases based only on an LI-RADS category of LR-3
–Colon cases with only C-RADS information (C-RADS category C4 is not reportable by itself)
–Head and Neck cases with only NI-RADS information (NI-RADS category 3 is not reportable by itself)
–Ovarian or fallopian tube cases with only O-RADS information (none of the O-RADS categories are reportable without additional information)
–Thyroid cases with only TI-RADS information (none of the TI-RADS categories are reportable without additional information)
