"Sean Barbabella said in a statement that Trump's physical exam included "advanced imaging" that is "standard for an executive physical" in Trump's age group. Barbabella concluded that the cardiovascular and abdominal imaging was "perfectly normal." "The purpose of this imaging is preventative: to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure he maintains long-term vitality and function," the doctor wrote."
"The White House released Barbabella's memo after Trump on Sunday said he would release the results of the scan. He and the White House have said the scan was "part of his routine physical examination" but had declined until Monday to detail why Trump had an MRI during his physical in October at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center or on what part of his body."
President Trump underwent MRI imaging of his heart and abdomen in October as part of a preventative screening appropriate for men his age, and physician Sean Barbabella reported the cardiovascular and abdominal imaging were perfectly normal. Barbabella said the imaging is advanced and standard for an executive physical and serves to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and preserve long-term vitality. The White House released the physician's memo after Trump said he would release scan results and had previously declined to detail why an MRI was performed or what body part was scanned. Preventive cardiac and abdominal MRIs are not routine screening recommendations.
