President Donald Trump confirmed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that he underwent a CT scan at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in October, not a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as previously claimed.[1][2] Trump has maintained for months that he got an MRI and even said he would "definitely" release the results.[1] His doctor, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, clarified that doctors initially considered performing either an MRI or a CT scan.[1][2] The scan was performed to "definitively rule out any cardiovascular problems" and revealed no abnormalities.[1][2] Barbabella said in a statement to ABC News that the president remains "in exceptional health and perfectly fit to carry out his duties as commander-in-chief".[1] On December 1, the White House released the results of the advanced imaging, describing it as "perfectly normal".[2] However, Trump later expressed regret that he had the scan done because it became "ammunition" against him.[2]
