Question 4

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.
