Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
O-RADS 3 with a solid lesion still warrants MRI characterisation.
When to use
Translate an O-RADS US category into a follow-up, MRI or gyn-oncology pathway.
How it works
1 normal (0%), 2 almost certainly benign (< 1%), 3 low (1–< 10%), 4 intermediate (10–< 50%), 5 high (≥ 50%) risk of malignancy.
Key points
- O-RADS 3 with a solid lesion still warrants MRI characterisation.
- O-RADS 4 → MRI or gynaecology evaluation; consider CA-125.
- O-RADS 5 (irregular solid, high colour score, ascites/peritoneal nodules) → gyn-oncology referral.
- Categories follow the US lexicon (lesion type, solid component, colour score).

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| O-RADS US category | 2 — Almost certainly benign |
|---|
→ManagementMostly none / conservative follow-up
- Category:O-RADS 2: Almost certainly benign (< 1%)
- Management:Classic benign (simple cyst, typical haemorrhagic cyst, typical endometrioma, typical dermoid/mature cystic teratoma, dilated tube): mostly no action, some conservatively followed by size/type
- Note:O-RADS US categorises by lesion type (unilocular/multilocular/solid), solid component and colour score; the final category needs physician integration of the lexicon
| O-RADS US category | 0 — Incomplete evaluation |
|---|
→ManagementFurther evaluation
- Category:O-RADS 0: Incomplete evaluation
- Management:Inadequate assessment due to technical/patient factors: repeat or use transvaginal ultrasound / MRI for further evaluation
- Note:O-RADS US categorises by lesion type (unilocular/multilocular/solid), solid component and colour score; the final category needs physician integration of the lexicon
