The turnaround time for getting an X-ray is dependent on many things. In most cases, X-rays are turned around and results are ready for the ordering doctor to review with their patient in about 24 hours. That time can either be longer or shorter. In an emergency room or urgent care where patients are being treated for acute and possibly life-threatening injuries, X-rays can be created and ready for review by the doctor in a matter of minutes. The prescribing doctor will specify the targeted area of the X-ray, along with the symptoms or suspected injury or illness being investigated so the X-ray technician knows what part of the body to shoot and can plan their images accordingly. The radiologist will review the X-ray images prior to sending them off to the doctor to ensure they are as clear as possible, as well as to detect any issues in the area the prescribing doctor what focused on.
