Report
I went through MRI Brain scan two years ago (i.e 9th march 2015) because I was having severe headache all the time. My MRI report showed that I have a Bulky Pituitary gland with superior convexity (physiological hyperplasia) that time my weight was normal according to my height. (age 26 height 5'4 .weight -63) from last one year my weight is continuously increasing my current weight is 74 kg. Earlier my weight never crossed this much. Yesterday I went for a TSH test and my tsh range is 7.41. I would like to consult a good Endocrinologist regarding my thyroid problem but I cannot ignore my MRI reports. My concern is my MRI report is two years old. Is it ok to show it to a doctor or I have to go for new MRI Brain scan again? I have read somewhere that we should not go for MRI scan frequently. Kindly clear my confusion.

Its o.k to consult a endocrinologist for your problem but you can show all your previous MRI to the specialist, who will decide whether to repeat MRI or Not. So you can consult him.
