The length of time it takes to get your CT scan results back depends on the testing facility you use and on your doctor's office.
It can be as little as a day or two or as long as about a week. You can ask your doctor or the CT technician to get a better idea.
Many medical facilities now have online patient portals that allow you to access your results much faster than in the past.
However, your doctor may prefer to share the news with you during a clinic visit when they can more carefully explain the results, answer questions, and discuss follow-up steps and treatment options, if needed.
