I was diagnosed very recently that my aorta was enlaged

That's what I thought. I know a radiologist has to actually review the test. I'm just stressing having to wait on the results and the uncertainty of not knowing.
Good or bad news at least l would know what l am facing.
Thanks for your reply.

At major medical centers it usually takes hours, it is the same case at the Texas Medical Center. Technicians are not allowed to give you their read (although the echo tech has told me once everything looks good, but I know he is not supposed to do that.
In your case remember you have had CTs and Echos before and the only thing they have reported is the dilation, you’re doing this more to confirm the size, shape, etc so try to stay calm.
Have a wonderful long weekend

The funny thing is that when I get them done at Mayo, the radiologist and my doctor reviews them within 2 hours.
