Clinical takeaway

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 category2 — 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 category0 — 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
