Subject: BI-RADS or BIRADS?

I've always been told to type it "BI-RADS" but since it stands for "Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System," I don't see any reason why there should be a dash, and if you Google it there are a lot of sites that do not use the dash.

Doc says..also brings with her numerous labs including labs showing borderline....s/l DATA... levels. 


She kind of stumbles over this and I could not find anything on DATA or data levels so I was going to flag it.  She then goes on to say....She tried oral...s/l DATA without success. 


It is pretty clear the second time but I cannot find anything on this.  Is this correct and would it be all CAPS?


Thanks.
