One of the goals of BT-RADS is to have an interpretation scheme which is easy to apply at all levels of training, from seasoned attendings to junior residents. Part of this is having suitable guide materials which can help you implement it in a meaningful way and apply it uniformly.

Below, you’ll find materials to help you in the implementation, including an easy to follow flow-chart, a quick reference guide of categories, and a more exhaustive full guide which tells you some of the more detailed nuances of implementation.

Of course, medicine is still an art and this will not solve every single case for you. However, it is a start towards having more uniform implementation in reading MRIs on brain tumor patients.
