The Value of Brain Imaging in Children with Headaches
Pediatrics 96:413-416, Maytal,J.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our findings of no relevant abnormalities in a series of 78 brain imaging studies indicate that the maximal rate at which such abnormalities might appear in this population is 3.8%.These results indicate that brain imaging studies have very limited value in evaluating headaches in pediatric patients without clinical evidence of an underlying structural lesion.
