"His physician said in a memo the White House released in December that he had "advanced imaging" as a preventative screening for a man his age. Trump had initially described it as an MRI but said he didn't know what part of his body he had scanned. A CT scan is a quicker form of diagnostic imaging than an MRI but offers less detail about differences in tissue."
""President Trump agreed to meet with the staff and soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Hospital in October. In order to make the most of the President's time at the hospital, we recommended he undergo another routine physical evaluation to ensure continued optimal health," Barbabella said. Barbabella said he asked the president to undergo either a CT scan or MRI "to definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues" and the results were "perfectly normal and revealed absolutely no abnormalities.""
President Donald Trump defended his energy and health and disclosed that his October advanced imaging was a CT scan rather than an MRI. He regretted undergoing the exam because it provoked public questions about his health. The president's physician characterized the imaging as a preventative screening appropriate for a man his age and reported perfectly normal results with no abnormalities. The exam occurred at Walter Reed during a planned visit to meet staff and soldiers, after an annual physical in April. White House officials reiterated that the president received advanced imaging and noted that the president provided additional details about the scan.
