Scan results...
I have to have a C.T. scan and an orbits scan soon, and can't get a word of sense out of anyone about how long I'll have to wait for the results to come through. Anyone been through this?

My Wife went through this last month and luckily she has private health insurance through work. Apparently the wait for a MRI scan on the NHS is 13+ weeks in our area.
Our Doctor arranged for my wife to go to a private clinic in Wimbledon and the MRI scan was done an hour later and she was given the results almost immediately.
Thankfully everything was normal.

It probably depends on the hospital. They should be able to give you a rough idea! I'm still waiting on an MRI scan done 2 weeks ago... they said it would be 'around 3 weeks' before the consultant got the results...

Sorry, should have said it's being done privately. Could have gone NHS, but the problem was getting worse so quickly that I didn't want to wait.
Only reason I'm trying to find out about the results timeframe is so I can give the company I work for something to go on, with regard to whether or not I'm going to go back.
Thanks for the replies.

I had one a bit back, and it took over 6 weeks to get the results back and only by pestering them
previous to that I had CT Scans every 6 weeks for 7 years, and they usually took about 2 weeks to get my results out to me (different hospital to the above scan recently)
They told me originally it takes about 2 weeks to get the results to whoever requested them be it your GP/Consultant etc
Good luck btw,

I had one done in may and when I went to make the appointment for the followup consultation, the bloke was going on holiday!
They wouldn't let anyone else give me the results so I spent 3 weeks sweating, resigned to the fact I'd see him the first monday he was back and dealing with that.
He only phones the friday before at 7pm and I'm thinking "oh ****, what couldn't wait till monday" and he says "I just thought I'd let you know everything was fine, scan was normal"!!
Well thanks a bunch doc, I'll go change my trousers now!!
