President Donald Trump stated he had an MRI scan during a recent visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect, the president told reporters on board Air Force One on Monday on his way to a week-long trip in Asia. Trump, who at age 79 is one of the oldest presidents in US history, did not specify why he had the scan, which can be utilized for a variety of health assessments.
The scan occurred during Trump's visit to Walter Reed earlier this month, with his physician reporting that he was in exceptional health. The doctor said [it] was some of the best reports, for the age, they've ever seen, Trump added. When asked about the reason behind the MRI, the president advised reporters to ask the doctors.
Presidential physician Dr. Sean Barbabella mentioned that the appointment was a scheduled follow-up evaluation as part of his ongoing health maintenance and included advanced imaging among other tests. Trump continues to display excellent overall health according to Dr. Barbabella.
MRI scans utilize strong magnetism to produce images of internal body structures and are particularly effective for viewing soft tissues, as outlined by the US National Institutes of Health. Earlier this year, the White House disclosed that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, which can lead to swelling in the legs, a condition considered benign but common in older individuals.
Additionally, the president has been seen with patches of makeup on his hand, attributed to bruising from frequent handshakes rather than a reflection of his vein condition.
