I think the next day CT results are common at the major CCC's. I know that's the way they do it at MD Anderson - plus they have PACS so my dr. can show me my images and anything that shows up on the computer screen. (PACS allow the images to be distributed and stored electronically, so there's almost immediate reading capability by the radiologist and referring physician)
