The time it takes to receive thermography results can vary depending on several factors, including the type of thermography, the complexity of the study, and the specific clinic or facility performing the scan.
Typical Timeframes for Thermography Results:
- Basic Thermography: Results for simple thermography scans, such as breast thermography, are usually available within 1-2 business days. This timeframe allows for image analysis and a preliminary report to be generated.
- More Complex Studies: For more intricate thermography scans, like those involving multiple body regions or specific medical conditions, the results may take 3-5 business days or even longer. This is due to the additional time required for detailed image analysis and interpretation.
Factors Influencing Result Delivery:
- Clinic's Workload: A busy clinic may take longer to process results.
- Image Complexity: Scans with intricate details or unusual findings might require extra time for analysis.
- Report Customization: Personalized reports can increase the turnaround time.
Obtaining Results:
You will typically receive your thermography results via email or a secure online portal. Some clinics may also offer a printed copy upon request. It's always best to clarify the process and expected timeframe with the clinic before your appointment.
