CT results not given but now having MRI. Is this normal?

I had a CT scan and after 10 days heard nothing,  phoned the hospital and they have said I've to now get a MRI scan at the end of the month.  No CT results were given, is this normal?

  • Yes this is quite normal. My gp sent me for an ultrasound on my liver as my liver function blood tests were abnormal. This showed a 2cm mass on the liver. I was then referred under the 2 week urgent suspected cancer pathway. The following week I had a ct scan, then 3 days later I was rang to go and have an mri and an endoscope the beginning of this week. After the endoscope I was given a report, which said, mass on liver shown on ct. No cancer found on endoscopy, awaiting mri scan results. I had the mri last sunday. I have no idea when I will get the results of the mri, or how I will proceed now. Hoping will hear something next week.
