That is a long wait. Locally to me the usual practice is for the results to go to the doctor who requested the scan - usually in 1-2 weeks. If the scan has not been seen by the radiologist the doctor cannot access the results. I would contact the hospital complaints department (PALS) and ask them to investigate on your son /daughter's behalf - i.e. the legal guardian should request it in the child's behalf if the child is a minor. Good luck. The scans will usually be reported on by an expert in that field -the radiologist.
