At Arizona Advanced Imaging, we prioritize rapid results so you can proceed with your treatment or legal case without delay. Our standard radiology report turnaround time for routine diagnostic imaging is 24 – 48 hours.
To ensure we meet the highest clinical and legal standards, every image is reviewed by our fellowship-trained, board-certified radiologists. The specific speed of your report often depends on the urgency of the request:
- Routine Reports: For non-urgent screenings and follow-ups, we consistently deliver finalized reports within 24 to 48 hours.
- Stat Reports: For acute clinical scenarios, such as suspected stroke or trauma, we prioritize these studies to provide results within hours—typically a 1 to 4-hour window.
- Legal & Personal Injury Cases: We provide PI-focused radiology expertise, delivering court-ready reports that correlate findings with the mechanism of injury. These are typically finalized within our 48-hour standard to keep legal discovery timelines on track.
We also offer same-day and next-day appointments to further accelerate your care journey. While we maintain efficient workflows across our Arizona and Texas locations, please note that results may vary based on individual patient conditions. We recommend providing complete clinical information and insurance details upfront to help us avoid administrative bottlenecks and maintain these benchmarks.
