Do you get CT scan results soon after?

I am a 46 year old female. I will have a CT scan of my spine next week. Do you get CT scan results soon after?

I GO OVER ALL CT'S WITH PATIENT UPON COMPLETION, MY OFFICE POLICY.
Typically within 48 hours. Sometimes it's sooner.
The results are available to your doctor anywhere from 1 hour to 3 days depending on the radiologist's reading turn around time and the efficiency of report access.
Not to be trite, but is all depends on where you go....in my personal practice, we have a strict 24 hour turnaround policy.

All the best...
Within one hour at my centers.
