President Donald Trump said on Monday he had undergone an MRI scan during his recent visit to Walter Reed Medical Center, but did not offer further details on why.

“It was perfect,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to Tokyo, part of a week-long trip to Asia.

Trump, 79, did not say which part of his body was scanned. MRIs are used for a range of issues and do not necessarily indicate a serious condition.

He indicated the scan occurred during his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center earlier this month.

Following that visit the president’s physician said Trump was in “exceptional health.”

“The doctor said [it] was some of the best reports, for the age, they’ve ever seen,” Trump said Monday.

In July, the White House announced the president — the oldest person ever inaugurated as U.S. president — had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common vein condition after he noticed swelling in his legs.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at the time there were no signs of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, which can be complications of chronic venous insufficiency. She added that he also underwent laboratory testing, which revealed results within normal limits, as well as an echocardiogram that showed “normal cardiac structure and function.”
