See below.: The MRI will have imaged at least a some of your surrounding brain. Brain tumors are uncommon in your age group. Unless you have symptoms that suggest brain tumor such as seizures, "spells, " unrelenting headache or focal neurologic signs there is very little to worry about. At your age the real risks to your health are accidents and lifestyle issues. Brain tumor is way down the list.
