Depends on what they are looking for but general rule is a week (courier to bring it and interpretation)or emergency cases (most) almost immediately!

In emergency situations it can be obtained the same day. I have had it done two days in advance, but perhaps that is just for the doctor and staff performing the MRI. It may vary depending on your Dr. and the circumstances. Good Luck!

It depends on if they asked for the report STAT or not. It usually takes about 24 hours to go through the dication service and then it is faxed to the doctor. Usually within 2 days.

Depends upon how long he's on the golf course. Seriously, sometimes they are in the same hospital and can read them right away. Sometimes they have to be sent off to be read. It depends on where you get it done!
