Neuro wants to run an MRI.  
Clusters don't show on them though, right?
Whats the difference between an MRI and a Cat scan?
 
Has anyone's MRI ever showed anything for CH?

The MRI (magnetic resonance imaging (I think)) and the CT scan (don't know that one but know it is a superior x-ray) are done to rule out other problems, such as tumors or vascular anomalies etc.  If your MRI or CT shows nothing then CH is a good possibility if your symptoms match the criteria.
 
Hope this helps!

So, an MRI and CT isn't Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut?
 The MRI can see things better than a CT scan. I don't think anything's been picked up with an MRI. I believe the larger hypothalamus was detected by PET scans.

 If he wants to see something have him do a color doppler - you can see where the Clusters are. The color doppler shows different levels of "heat" in your brain with different colors. I have had a ton of them done and they are cool. Its like having your picture taken.
