The turnaround time for an MRI scan depends on the radiologists' schedule. At many medical centers, the radiologist may interpret the scan and write a report on the order of several hours to one day.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to take pictures of the head. The radiologist may tell you some of the results of the MRI right after the test. Full results are sent to your doctor or specialist in 1 to 2 days.
