How much time does it take to get chest x-ray results?

Depends: chest xray images are ready at most institutions/facilities in minutes. The radiologist will then generally read the study at some point that day, and the results would then be ready to the physician/provider who ordered the test. Bottom line, should be ready fairly quickly in most situations.

Quite rapid tody: In these modern times the results from digital exams are usually faxed to referring doctor in rapid fashion, once study is dictated. My physicians receive reports in less than a minute after my dictation. The physician has to look at reports.My advice is to call office manager of physician who requested study. I have found this results in more satisfactory response than speaking to receptionist.
