Should a 28 healthy active male have a brain scan to check for defects,if no symps and no fam history?when should i be checked out for these things?

No: From what you wrote, I see no indication for a brain scan. You may need a routine physical examination, (not a routine brain scan for no reason). Speak with your primary care doctor regarding indications for a brain scan.
