President Trump says his MRI scan gave ‘perfect’ results
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he had undergone an MRI scan, but did not say why. “It was perfect,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Tokyo.
President Donald Trump said his medical exam at Walter Reed Medical Center in October, which included an MRI scan, was “perfect.”
President Trump referred to questions from doctors and did not say why he underwent an MRI scan.
A report released by the White House described President Trump’s Oct. 10 doctor visit as a “follow-up” from his previous exam in April, which included “advanced imaging, lab tests, and a preventive health assessment.” The results of the imaging test have not been disclosed.
A magnetic resonance imaging scan uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. It can be used to monitor various conditions.
Trump, 79, became the oldest person to become president when he took back the White House in January. He is the second oldest person to serve as president.
“President Trump continues to be in good overall health,” the report said.
The president also received additional flu and coronavirus vaccinations at Walter Reed Hospital.
“The doctors gave some of the best reports of our generation, some of the best reports I’ve ever seen,” President Trump told reporters on Air Force One on October 27 while traveling overseas.
In July, the White House revealed that Trump was experiencing swelling in his lower legs and bruising on his right hand after he was photographed with a swollen ankle and an affected area on his hand covered in makeup.
Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbavera, said in a letter released by the White House at the time that tests confirmed the swelling in his legs was due to “chronic venous insufficiency,” a benign condition that is especially common in people over 70.
