How long is it supposed to it take for a neurologist to examine the images of a head mri?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Interesting question: Of course, the usual answer is "it depends". I would imagine a complex exam with previous studies for comparison could take 30 minutes. A normal exam, maybe five minutes. One would hope the best answer is "as long as it takes".

Couple of minutes: Most of us can review the images from a brain MRI in a couple of minutes if we are not distracted and properly focused. Comparing old and new may be a bit longer.
