Waiting for scan results

Do people with bad scan results get their results quicker? How long is it reasonable t o have to wait for annual CT and Urology scans

  • Hello Magdalene

    There's no hard and fast rule about how long scan results take to be returned and if receiving those results quicker means it's good or bad news. 

    Unfortunately, we know that many hospitals across the country are dealing with delays in reporting on scans and tests due to staff shortages and increased workloads. 

    If you think that you should have heard back from the hospital regarding your results by now then don't be afraid to give them a call. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
