How long does it take to get the results of a coronary artery CT scan?

The time required to obtain results from a coronary CT scan varies depending on the hospital and specific circumstances. Generally, for routine outpatient coronary CT scans, if the number of patients is low, results may be available on the same day or the following day. If there are more patients, it may take two to three days. For emergency coronary CT scans, results are typically available within about three hours. Some hospitals may take three to five hours to issue the results. The exact time depends on the hospital's level, medical resources, and the patient's specific condition. While waiting for the results, patients should remain patient and follow the doctor's recommendations for further treatment or testing. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mindset is important for heart health.
