Also written as: Grade 3, Marked
Simple Meaning
The highest grade of a finding — needing timely specialist attention.
Where it appears in reports
On imaging, echo, and graded findings across reports.
Why it matters
Severe gradings usually change management — earlier appointments, treatment decisions, sometimes procedures. Don't sit on a severe finding; book the follow-up promptly.
Doctor advice needed
