Table 2. Explanation of the different C-RADS categories (15,16).
Category | Findings |
---|---|
C-RADS E1 | Normal examination results or anatomical variants |
C-RADS E2 | Clinically unimportant findings |
No further evaluation or investigation indicated (e.g., renal cyst, diverticulosis) | |
C-RADS E3 | Indeterminate, incompletely characterized, but probably benign |
Further clinical correlation and investigation could be carried out if indicated (e.g., minimally complex renal cyst) | |
C-RADS E4 | Potentially important findings |
Further investigation required and communication to the referring physician, as per accepted practice guidelines (e.g., solid renal mass, abdominal aortic aneurysm) |
