every trip through the machine would be a "MRI" to an ignorant dolt like tRump.

I've been through the machine 4 times this year, I think only once was an actual MRI.

My last test, a cardiac stress test, they inject a radioactive dye and then image from that - no magnetism involved.

As to the bruise on his hand, I had a bruise much like that after my cataract surgery. So tRump was injected with either dyes ot radioactive tracers and put through the big scary machine at least twice.

But it's not done as preventive, it is diagnostic or it is done in preparation of a more serious procedure. I think they scanned my lungs before doing mu open heart surgery. And a CT scan before angiogram. Etc.

Agreed. The terms "screening" or "early detection" would be more precise. John1956PA 7 hrs ago #12
