RADIOLOGIC STUDIES

CHEST X-RAY REMARKABLE. Chest X-rays help spot abnormalities or diseases SUMC, HCH,
Atheromatous aorta, of the airways, blood vessels, bones, heart, and lungs. A finding of NOPH and other

atherosclerosis is increased with a history of hypertension, 305.00
presence of dyslipidemia, old age, smoker, and sedentary
lifestyle. This finding can also give a clue of the presence of
atherosclerosis at other sites of the body, including the arteries
supplying the brain.
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM REMARKABLE. ECG helps evaluate the heart’s function by SUMC, HCH,
(ECG or EKG) Sinus tachycardia, with measuring its electrical activity. These findings imply an NOPH and other
LVH by voltage increased pumping action of the heart to propel blood. Because laboratories
the aorta is atheromatous, its elasticity and lumen diameter are ₱ 150.00-
decreased, thus it cannot fully adjust to the high pressure coming 660.00
from the blood ejected from the heart. When this happens, the
heart needs to pump faster and harder to catch up with the
body’s demand, thus presenting with sinus tachycardia and LVH.
COMPUTED Normal UNREMARKABLE. CT scan is a special xray test that produces SUMC, HCH and
TOMOGRAPHY, HEAD cross-sectional images of the body using xrays and a computer. A other

and other conditions masquerading as stroke. In ischemic 5,000.00
strokes, a normal CT scan taken just several hours after a stroke
generally shows no abnormality, and the infarct may not be
reliably seen for 24-48 hrs.
