22 year old son has had six mri's with contrast in last 4 years: 3 were brain scans. is this concerning given recent findings on contrast dye?

First,: Answer needed is: why were the scans performed. If the process being followed is significant then you must weigh the benefits of knowledge provided by the scans to guide therapy versus the risks from the contrast. I suggest you pose this question directly to the treating doctor.
