Ultrasound (not for pregnancy)

Today I had an ultrasound on my kidneys and bladder. I also have a cystoscopy on Friday.
I was told and read that the scan would take between 10-15 minutes and actually was about two minutes. I know nobody here has the results of course, but in general I feel that surely being that quick must be a good sign? That there was obviously nothing there I mean?
Does a quick scan possibly indicate a good result?
I know it's a pointless question really I'm just sitting on my thumbs wanting to get results all over with.
Thanks if anyone reads these ramblings

Also, does a cystoscopy hurt?

No experience of kidney and bladder ultrasound but had one last month for my ovaries and groin for potential hernia and/or cysts. The letter said it would take 20-30 minutes and that's exactly how long it lasted. To be honest in your shoes I'd be worried they were not thorough enough and didn't get many great images within 2 minutes but maybe that's just me, I'm a worry wart.

That did cross my mind. I also said to my partner I was a bit worried in case he'd thought she yes, there it is found it'
I'm semi joking about that.
I'm hoping it was a case of me having clear and obviously healthy bladder and kidneys. The appointments were running 20 mins early so it wasn't that they were running late
