Overview
- Trump’s physician released a brief note describing a “preventative abdominal” or “torso” MRI and reporting only heart and abdominal results.
- Dr. Sanjay Gupta, citing consultations with leading radiologists, said such a scan is virtually unheard of as routine screening and lacks clinical guidelines.
- Radiology experts stressed that MRIs are not primary wellness screens, and that the selective focus on cardiovascular and abdominal findings is atypical.
- Gupta outlined two possibilities under discussion: a full‑body MRI with partial disclosure of results or a bespoke torso scan, both characterized as unusual.
- No new diagnoses were disclosed, and the opaque rollout has fueled calls for the Trump team to specify exactly what imaging was performed and why.
