### Q.2.2 Example 2: Screening Mammogram With Negative Findings

A screening mammography case, i.e., there are typically four films and no suspicious abnormalities. The result is a negative mammogram with basic reporting. This example illustrates a report encoded as narrative text with minimal supplementary data, and follows BI-RADS® and MQSA:

Example Q.2-2. Report Sample: Narrative Text with Minimal Supplementary Data

`Findings`

`No significant masses, calcifications, or other abnormalities are present. There is no significant change from the prior exam.`

`Impressions`

`BI-RADS® Category 1: Negative. Recommend normal interval follow-up in 12 months.`
