President Donald Trump's recent MRI is still raising questions about his health — and the White House is offering no answers, MSNBC reports.

Trump told reporters on Air Force one earlier this week he got a "perfect" MRI," a comment Ana Cabrera said is "raising eyebrows." Trump recently received his second routine "annual" physical in just six months.

According to MSNBC correspondent Erielle Reshef, doctors are also raising their eyebrows over Trump's MRI.

"Physicians across multiple disciplines tell us that even for a 79-year-old like the president, an MRI is never routine," Reshef said. "It's still unclear, because his physician only referenced 'advanced screening,' which can mean a number of different types of testing."

MRIs, Reshef says, are usually ordered when a physician wants to follow up on a finding from a previous exam or they're trying to address a complaint from the patient.

"Doctors say that the president could theoretically request a prophylactic full-body MRI, but that's also highly unusual."

Reshef said that while it's not legally required for presidents to undergo a certain number of exams or release the findings, it has become a "tradition" for presidents to undergo at least one annual exam and disclose those findings to the public.

"President Trump has now had two exams that we are aware of so far this year," Reshef says, adding that "many U.S. presidents in the past have obfuscated on their health" including "[Grover] Cleveland, [Harry S.] Truman, [Franklin D. Roosevelt], [John F. Kennedy], [Joe] Biden, and President Trump himself."

Reshef revealed the White House is not saying "much" about the president's recent visit. "They did not return our request for clarification on exactly what types of tests will run on the president," she said.

Reshef also noted that but the president's physician, Captain Sean Barbabella, D.O., released a memo following Trump's October 10 visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center saying he was in "excellent overall health."

Trump, who was diagnosed with a condition known as Chronic Venus Insufficiency (CVI) in July, probably did not get an MRI to address that condition, according to Reshef's sources.

"CVI is common in older adults, but doctors do tell us it's highly unlikely that an MRI would be the test that would be ordered to observe that condition, so at this point more questions than answers," Reshef said.
