WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Friday he received a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam as part of his recent physical, calling the scan “very standard.”

Trump told reporters he got the MRI “because it’s part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard. What, you think I shouldn’t have it? Other people get it … I had an MRI. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor.”

The White House declined earlier this week to provide specific details of medical images from Trump’s physical a month ago but said the exam showed he was in exceptional health.

Trump, 79, had previously disclosed he underwent an MRI exam at Walter Reed Medical Center on October 10, but neither he nor the White House has said which part of his body was scanned.
