The study utilized the descriptive method. Five hundred ninety (590) junior and 645 senior high school students from two (2) major public schools and three (3) major private schools in Imus, Cavite were selected through stratified sampling. A self-made questionnaire was used to obtain data. Statistical tools used were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, analysis of variance and t-test for independent means.

Overall cognitive perception of the respondents when the two areas were combined was very good; 3) Female respondents had significantly higher cognitive perception regarding diagnostics therapeutic radiology compared to male respondents. Cognitive perception of the respondents did not vary when they were grouped according to type of school. Respondents with no relatives working in the hospital had higher cognitive perception compared to those respondents with no relatives working in hospital.
