Do you get the results of a breast mri immediately?

Not typically: There are hundreds of images to review and careful correlation to perform with prior studies. I would give your breast specialist one-two days for the reading and then call the ordering provider to discuss results.

Usually within 24hrs: The typical breast MRI may produce 2-3000 images and a large volume of data (detailed architecture images and dye flow data) that need to be crunched, mapped and interpreted. I generally try to give the radiologist 24 hrs to produce a final read but know that they can often get results out prior to this depending on work flow and other factors.

Usually not.: there are many images and the interpretation is more time consuming than for a mammogram. Results within 24 hours is probably a reasonable estimate, but contact your facility to see when you can expect results.
