4 months agoTrump's MRI Is Not Standard Preventive' Care, Say Experts
Medical experts are questioning the White House's explanation for President Donald Trump's MRI tests as preventive. A Monday memo released by presidential physician Sean Barbabella described the results of a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health as normal. This level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age, Barbabella said. But imaging experts who spoke to Scientific American expressed doubts as to Barbabella's assertion that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening is typical preventive care.
