  • Hiya,

    In my personal experience, I had an MRI on a saturday, something was detected on that scan so I was contacted the following day at 9am and asked if I could attend the hospital for another MRI for further imaging to be obtained of whatever they were concerned about. Literally as soon as I was finished with the rescan I was told to go down the corridor to have a X-ray for further scanning. Once that was finished I was told to go straight to my GP the following day as soon as my surgery opens to discuss the findings. So from my experience when it's something bad they don't delay in contacting you immediately.

  • Hello,

    I had the same thing with a ultrasound in December they found six growths on my liver I was called the next day to arrange a urgent reffwral for MRI I had the MRI and it took ten days for results in the post that said likely benign. I had a follow up MRI on Saturday and was just thinking if anything changed and they thought it was serious would they have me waiting long but I thought they would contract me ASAP if it was x

  • Obviously I don't know what the doctors timespan is for urgent cases but I'm fairly certain that they would of contacted you by now if it were urgent, going on my previous experience. Good luck, I hope its good news.

  • Still waiting for MRI results it's being ten days rang the secetary today and she said the report had just gone back and she would speak to consultant and see what he's wanting to do obviously she can't decide nothing until he's looked at this. Don't know what to think getting scared.
