Also, it is very heartbreaking talking with people that don't
get the
proper diagnosis, medication, and counselling until years, sometimes decades go by, and they look back with a sense of lost
time, lost relationships, and much sorrow, because intervention didn't happen earlier.
Typical scans can take up to 30 - 45 minutes to
get the information needed to make a
proper diagnosis, though radiologists believe that the increased sensitivity of the new scanner may allow them to reduce this
time to as little as 5 - 10 minutes for some types of studies.
