Overview
Neuro-imaging with an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan with and without contrast is preferred to non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan. MRI is usually indicated to rule out underlying structural brain lesion or to evaluate brain and pituitary gland in patient presenting with typical features or highly suspicious of cluster headache.
