Waiting Time for CT Colonography results

I have just had a CT Colonography  at my local hospital due to being on warfarin medication . The test was on 02 September how long before I can expect to hear from the NHS hospital about the results ?

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Scan results are usually available within 2 or 3 weeks .Unfortunately, we can't tell you exactly how long you will have to wait to get your results as there will be some regional variations in different NHS Trusts.

    But, if you don't hear anything after 2 weeks, then do ask your GP to enquire, or ring the specialist/consultant secretary. 

    I hope you know more soon. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you very much for your reply , what happens in the case where you are positive from the scan and have all the symptoms don’t they get back to you sooner cos I already tried my GP and they said that they didn’t refer me to the hospital which makes me confident and worried ?

  • Hello again DonnyG and thanks for getting back to us

    I appreciate this is a worry for you but I would speak to the hospital department who carried out the CT colonography through the main switchboard. They should be able to look you up on the system to find out more.

    I hope you know more soon and that everything turns out okay for you.

    I'm sorry we can't be of more help on this occasion.

    Best wishes
