Hi there,  
Often an MRI is done to rule out other conditions, such as MS, when diagnosing Tn. Unless you had a high resolution MRI, which can possibly show the compression of the nerve, it may not show much to your neurologist. TN is often diagnosed solely by the description of your symptoms.  
Best of luck to you!  
Christine
