MRI scan

I was wondering does the length of time they take in an MRI mean they've found something and need to take more photos? So if the radiologist is checking the brain and they find something would the scan take longer? And would results take longer to be given? 

 

My friend is an in patient.

    Hello Zig, 

    I don't think the time in scan indicates anything. I had a head MRI and was told it would be about 20 minutes. It ended up taking forty minutes as the first lot of scans weren't as precise as they wanted, so they did another round. Results were normal. 

    regards, gamechanger
