PET (positron emission tomography) scan times take longer than either MRI or CT scans because the injection of a radioisotope take 45 to 1.5 hours to travel through the body. The typical scan (or image acquisition) time for brain and oncology related scans is 30 to 60 minutes.Consequently, a complete PET scan customarily takes 2 hours. Sometimes, an additional 20 minutes of imaging time is necessary for scans related to melanoma and sarcoma.rior to the actual scan, patient registration and meeting with the technologist takes approximately 30 minutes. Here are typical timelines for your scan: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan times will take 30 to 40 minutes for the majority of scans. That is, brain, knee, spine and shoulder.
