Radiology
X-rays, mammograms, ultrasound scans and Doppler studies on digital equipment, with a radiologist's report.
Radiology
Radiology is the centre's diagnostic imaging service. We take X-rays, mammograms, ultrasound scans and Doppler studies on digital equipment, so images are available straight away and the radiologist can assess them the same day. Reports are signed by Dr Jordi Teruel, who has run the radiology unit since the centre opened, and Dr Xavier Targa, an ultrasound specialist.
We see our own patients and also referrals from other medical teams in the area. You need an appointment and the referral from the doctor requesting the test. We work with more than forty health insurers: tell us yours when you call and we will confirm your cover.

Bring the referral, your insurance card and any previous X-rays or reports for the same area. Some ultrasound scans need preparation — fasting, or drinking water beforehand — and we will tell you when you book. Call 972 30 65 65 or request an appointment through the contact form.

Frequently asked questions about Radiology
Do I need a referral for an X-ray or an ultrasound scan?
Yes: any imaging test needs the referral from the doctor requesting it, and an appointment is always required. Bring your insurance card too, along with any previous X-rays or reports for the same area.
Can I have a scan in Palafrugell if another doctor requested it?
Yes. We accept referrals from other medical teams in the area, not only from our own doctors. Call 972 30 65 65 to book and tell us which insurer you have: we work with more than forty companies and will confirm your cover.
When will I get the report?
Because our equipment is digital, the images are available straight away and the radiologist can assess them the same day. The radiologist signs the report and you collect it at the centre to take back to the doctor who requested the test.
