In cases that require a STAT reading request from your doctor in most cases can receive test results nearly immediately. The Radiologists will review and interpret your CT scan as soon as it’s completed, within 24 hours. Most average results are sent 2- 3 days along with a cd of the images. Delays are having to request priors for comparison. If a life-threatening or abnormal diagnosis requires immediate attention the Radiologist will contact your doctor.
