Got my mri on my brain and spine tomorrow. Feeling nervous even though I know I won't find anything out tomorrow. How long have people had to wait for results?

Thanks

Helen

    Generally 2-3 days, but I've always had to wait until my follow up to the doctor for results.

      Thanks Debbie

      My doctors won't let me make a follow up appt yet, they said I have to wait at least a week after the scan before I ring them. I guess this is to make sure they've got the results and the doctor has looked at them?

      Probably. Are you in the UK? Things are very different than here in the US

    I had an MRI in the February 2 years ago. I chased up the results. Without success. Finally saw a consultant specialist in late October for the results. No apology. Nothing.
