Breast screening test usually takes approximately two weeks. Depending on the findings and if additional tests are needed from the specimen taken. Thank you.

It depends on your radiology department organization and/or backlog. Best to ask them after your exam is finished. The length of radiologist’s exam of images depends of the density of breast tissue and his/her’s experience and diligence. Good luck.
