recent admission <\/a>that he received an MRI scan drew more questions, as Trump is the oldest person inaugurated as U.S. president.<\/p>\nWhat To Know<\/p>\n
Trump, in a post to his Truth Social page, said he undergoes extensive medical examinations for which top doctors have given him \u201cPERFECT Marks.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he had taken a cognitive examination three times \u201cand I aced all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite all of this, the time and work involved, the New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that i am \u2018slowing up,\u2019 and maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter all of the work I have done with the Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it\u2019s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for the New York Times and others to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n
The president told reporters last month that he received an MRI while at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in October as part of a \u201cvery standard” physical. He characterized the procedure as routine but said he had \u201cno idea what they analyzed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The White House later released some details about the MRI, describing the results as \u201cperfectly normal\u201d and part of his routine executive physical.<\/p>\n
MRI scans, or magnetic resonance imaging, are non-invasive imaging techniques used to examine a patient’s organs, tissues and skeletal system, typically to assess brain and spinal health. The scans are often used to check for aneurysms of cerebral vessels, conditions of the eye and inner ear, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord conditions, stroke, tumors and brain injury from trauma. They can also be used to check heart health and other major organs.<\/p>\n
MRI scans are not typically completed during routine health checks. That said, unlike other scans, such as X-rays or CT scans, MRIs do not use radio waves or magnetic fields, making them among the safest imaging techniques.<\/p>\n
According to a summary from Physician to the President Sean P. Barbabella, advanced cardiovascular and abdominal imaging was conducted as a preventive measure common for men in Trump\u2019s age group.<\/p>\n
The report said there was no evidence of arterial narrowing, inflammation, clotting or abnormalities in the heart, major blood vessels or any abdominal organs, all of which appeared healthy and functioning within normal limits. The physician said the findings confirm that Trump \u201cremains in excellent overall health.\u201d<\/p>\n
The president’s wellness has come under scrutiny during the past year, notably after pictures emerged repeatedly of bruising to his right hand. In July, the White House released a memo explaining that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency<\/a> (CVI), which his physician described as “benign and common.”<\/p>\nThe Times recently reported that the president had appeared to fall asleep during a White House event, saying “his battery shows signs of wear.”<\/p>\n
What People Are Saying<\/p>\n
Trump, in his post: \u201cI will know when I am \u2018slowing up\u2019 but it\u2019s not now!\u201d<\/p>\n
