The results from a scan can take from 24 hours to as long as a few weeks to get the results of the scan back.
If you haven't heard back from your doctor about the scan test results within a week it would be a good idea to contact your doctor and see if they have any updates.
I've had scan results come back within 24 to 48 hours and then again I've had it take as long as 2 weeks to get scan results back.
The results of the scan usually take 24 hours.
A radiologist, a physician who specializes in reading and interpreting CT scan and other radiologic images, will review your scan and prepare a report that explains them.
After analyzing the images, the radiologist will write a report and send it to the doctor who referred you for the scan so they can discuss the results with you.
This normally takes a few days or weeks.
It's a generally held aphorism that “no news is good news”.
In fact the opposite should hold when it comes to healthcare.
If you have had a recent scan, blood test or other kind of medical investigation, the best policy to adopt is “no news is bad news”
