If it's a STAT case, they will get in and they're images will be read right away, so long as mobile MRI is there. That's how I remember it when I worked at one. I don't remember if we got any emergency room patients, but I just assumed that in the ER they'll get in faster if it's life threatening.

When I fainted at my job in Dallas, they gave me a CT scan. That's because I worked for UT Southwestern and my professor was Assistant Chief of Cardiology. So yes, one can get these things within minutes but it is all about who you know and who you are to get them.
