Read below: Three ct scans in 3 months sounds like an anxiety state most headaches are benign but you can have an MRI to settle the question.

Stop: There is some small risk of repeated ct. Scans so please stop and have the ordering physician look at your previous test before ordering a new study. Mri does not expose you to radiation and is better to evaluate for tumor or other structural brain lesion.
