Urgent MRI during covit

Offline RosieD over 5 years ago

Hi, my father was diagnosed with liver cancer in March and underwent SIRT. I had to get a liver scan myself (47 year old female), 4 days ago. Was send then for urgent internal scan. My GP rang on same day and I have to get an urgent MRI. How long will I have to wait during the covit pandemic?

Thanks for any reply.

Hello RosieD,
Waiting times are different in different parts of the country, so I can't suggest how long your wait might be.
It might reassure to you to know that, because having an MRI scan doesn't produce aerosols, it hasn't been affected as much as some other types of procedures.

Hi,

Yes as above could be different in different areas but I was told it would be no longer than two weeks if referred urgently for an MRI.
