Q: how long does it take to get mammogram results? i have been waiting.

Few days to a week: Depending on your particular radiology center etc, in general, however, you should have your report ready in a few days to week after your test. Call the radiology center or your referring md for the information.

Q: how long should you have to wait for results of diagnostic mammogram?

Diagnostic: Mammogram should be interpreted by the radiologist while you wait.

Q: i wanted to know when you get a mammogram, do you get the results right away?

Depends - ask clinic: Each breast imaging center, clinic or hospital is different. Some try to provide immediate results, or offer results if the patient is willing to wait for 30 or 60 minutes while the radiologist (specially trained physician - usually 6 years after medical school) interprets the mammogram. Other locations provide results within a day or two, but some places are slow and results take a week or more.

Question 1

i recieved my mammography results and it reported a multinodular pattern they placed it under the category bi-rads 2, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Good news: Bi-rads 2 is a category that, while describing various features of the mammogram (such as nodules), indicates the findings are benign- without evidence of cancer. Nothing else is recommended.

Question 2

if you get an abnormal result for mammography and you have had uterine cncer and just checked your cancer antigen its 6.3. cncer a for sure thing?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: The abnormal mammogram may be unrelated. It needs a proper evaluation. Do not jump to conclusions.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Short turnaround: Do you mean how long it takes for a radiologist to read one ? Not long.

Question 4

can it take long to get mammogram results?

Accepted Answer

Varies, usu 1-3 days: This varies from practice to practice. A screening mammogram usually take 1-3 days to get results. If there are old studies that need to be retrieved or ordered from elsewhere, it may take longer, sometimes even 2-3 weeks. There may be guidelines to limit the maximum to under 4 weeks. Diagnostic mammograms are usually interpreted in the same day, unless old films are needed.

Question 5

how long do i have to wait before getting mammogram results?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Some mammogram units give immediate feedback. Other take a day or two. You should also receive a letter from the radiologist.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Our group: Provides reports to referring doctors within 24 hours. It may take a few days for the results to arrive in a patient's mailbox.

Question 7

please tell me how long it takes for to get mammogram results back?

Accepted Answer

24 hours: This may vary quite a bit depending upon where you get your mammogram.  There are many centers that offer immediate "reads" of mammograms if you are willing to come in during normal business hours.  I think a better question is how long are you willing to wait to get a result?  If you want immediate or fast (<24 hr) results, it is best to shop around.  Be sure to choose an fda-accredited facility.
