    I would limit the amount of CT scans I would get. The amount of radiation you receive is very high on shots like the abdomen. Just imagine the x-ray you get for a single shot x-ray then multiple that times 300 to 400 times depending on the amount of slices. I'm sure the Philippines doesn't have max radiation protocols like the USA so they may crank up the KV and MA to get a better image. If normal x-ray then MRI don't show anything then maybe a CT scan. I've worked on x-ray machines for 13 years now and I don't think they have physicists inspecting the systems.
    As a note I spent 20 years in the Air Force working on nuclear missiles then add 13 years on x-ray so ive had my fair share of radiatiin but it makes little Willy glow in the dark. Instant night light.

    MRI do not produce any x-ray as they use very strong magnetic (the M in MRI) as well as radio frequency ( the r being resonance). If you don't have ferrous metal inside you then you'll be fine.
