CT temporal bone res: When the ct is read by the neuroradiologist, if they see anything "dangerous" they will inform your ENT who will inform you. Usually results of scans are available to your otolaryngologist within 24 hours. Your ENT will likely review a copy of the ct him/herself. Definitely address your questions to your ent. Good luck!
