MRI, EEG, CT scan... did they show anything abnormal for you?

I've had at least 3 seizures in the past and I'm being evaluated to see if I'm epileptic/prone to seizures. I had a CT scan a few months ago and it was normal. I'm having an EEG and MRI soon. If all of the tests show nothing abnormal, does that mean I'm not epileptic? (I'm feeling a little invalidated by the fact that, thank goodness of course, the CT didn't find anything. It feels like the test is calling me a liar, lol)

On the other hand, if they do show something abnormal... could that potentially rule out epilepsy?

I’ve had several MRIs and CTs and they all look fine. I had several 15 minute EEGs that showed nothing. I finally had a long EEG and had one seizure.

Jump 10 years later for an EEG again and I had 21 seizures. Brains are weird.
