Mammogram and ultrasound reports.

How long does it take for mammogram and ultrasound reports? I had mine completed by lunch time last Wednesday and thought for sure the results would be in for my doctors appointment Monday afternoon but nope. He rang them up and they said "maybe" by close of business on Tuesday. Can they read a mammogram and ultrasound or not? Its not rocket science.

    I recently found out that my mammograms and ultrasounds are reviewed by 2 doctors at the radiology clinic each time. This is to be more thorough that nothing is missed. One of these doctors only works certain days so depending on the day of the week I have them done it can take a while before they are reviewed by both doctors and the results sent on to my GP and surgeon. Maybe this is why yours have taken a bit longer too Brenda? It is good that they are being so careful and thorough with us I guess. I now make sure I have my mammogram and ultrasound 2 weeks before my appointment with the surgeon just to be sure the results will be received in time. xxx

    Hi Brenda, I know it can be sooooo frustrating waiting for results but if the radiologist has been away or sick that might put the results back and they may be catching up now. Hope you get your results today. Xx
