Each lesion description should include: The largest diameter of a lesion should be documented as [cm] in the anterior-posterior direction.
In this respect, BI-RADS is not a clinical decision rule, but rather a lexicon that provides a common language for lesion description [16].
This difference was statistically significant, except for lesion description.
In our study, breast density, location of the lesion, and a lesion description were given in 92%, 96%, and 93% of reports, respectively.
Pyoderma depth was categorised as either 'surface'superficialcial'deep'eep' , or 'mixed' based on lesion description statements recorded by the examining clinician [ 8].
A lesion description, rather than a photo, was employed because the study sought a choice of management action instead of focusing on the clinical diagnosis of a specific skin lesion.
With increasing use of clinical breast MRI and a plethora of novel techniques and sequences for lesion characterisation, a standardised approach to lesion description and reporting is increasingly important.
Partial clearance was defined as a reduction in the quantity (defined as mild, moderate or severe and a measurement was provided for the lesion description) and quality (induration, erythematic, scaling, telangiectasia and hemorrhagic zones) of inflammation characteristics.
Although the term "redness" is included in clinical assessments, qualitative data supporting consistency of lesion color description are limited, especially among patients with darker skin tones.
Besides basic data types, such as categorical values, numeric, text, and temporal, the expressiveness of OpenSDE also encompasses ranges of values, multiple occurrence of the same tree node (two different skin lesions), progress descriptions (multiple descriptions of the same node to represent course over time), comments, and time-stamps.
