See answer below: Obviously it is difficult for anyone on the internet to speculate without seeing you, but if the reason for the MRI is headaches, and you otherwise have a normal neurological exam with a history of a normal ct, the chances of a tumor are low. I'm sure you have follow-up scheduled with the ordering physician, and he/she will be able to help you.

See below: Please wait for the result of the MRI study. A negative brain MRI is a good sign there's no brain tumor. Brain cancer is not common in your age range. There are various causes of headaches. Please follow up with your doctor on treatment recommendations.

Hi doctors. I'm having a CT scan of the sinuses. The MRI of the brain from December, 2020 found opacification, but no tumor, nor did a visual endoscopy of my sinuses in the office....is it likely that there still may be tumors found on the CT scan?
