How can i ask for an mri or pet scan to see if there are any anomalies in my brain?

Need To See MD: You can not ask for a test to be done as these can only be ordered by a Physician and only if there is clear cut indication.You need to consult your Doctor for the symptoms you are having.Your doctor will take a detailed history and do an exam.Based on that he will decide if you need any tests done including imaging like MRI etc.So if you have any symptoms consult your Doctor
