Usually, MRI scanning process just takes 20-30 minutes in India depending on type of modality, body part and technology used. For Anastasia or contrast dye, allow 15–25 minutes more. However, the waiting period for final report would take 6 to 48 hours depending on the place and Diagnostic brand. Bigger the set-up more the time. The turnaround time greatly depends on physical availability of radiologists at Lab, experience & specialisation, complexity of the scan, work load and many other factors at Labs. Unreasonable delays often highlight inefficiencies at Diagnostic Labs or in the radiology ecosystem including booking portals. There exists no checks and balances to help patients!!
However, new developments in AI technology brings disruptions in the radiology ecosystem that can help patients all the way. Patients can track his scan +report. He can choose fast track option of 2 hours. He can also choose his radiologist.
