LABORATORI COLL GARCES
Monday and Wednesday from 7:30 to 10 a.m.
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 to 10 a.m.
Private and all mutuals except: Agrupació Mutua.

Audiometry test

Exploratory technique that evaluates the hearing ability.

Exploratory technique for assessing visual acuity.

Ultrasound scanning

Scanning technique of the body’s internal organs using ultrasounds. Its echo is reflected by the organs and is displayed on a screen.

Electrocardiogram

Exploratory technique tracing the electrical activity of the heart.

It is very useful for ascertaining the extent of an injury or lesion and whether the problem is located in the hand, arm, leg, face, etc., or is more widespread and extensive. It also shows whether the disease affects the muscles, nerves, motor end plate, cervical, dorsal or lumbosacral roots or the medulla. The EMG/ENG is very frequently requested by traumatologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, physical therapists, internists, paediatricians etc. for patients reporting weakness or loss of strength with local or widespread pain, tingling or numbness in different parts of the body, muscle cramp or loss of muscle mass.

Spirometry

Exploratory technique to measure lung volume and capacity.

Biodynamic gait analysis

Diagnostic method that allows analysing from a morphological point of view (by the shape) and biomechanics (by the movement study). Both either on the prevention and correction of several pathologies associated with treads.

Holter arterial pressure (MAPA)

Diagnostic test that allows monitoring continuously the blood pressure values for a preset period of time.

Holter ECG

Diagnostic test used to monitoring the electrical activity of the heart for several hours. Electrocardiographic activity and heart rate is measured.

This test records certain bodily functions as one sleeps or tries to sleep. It is used to diagnose sleep disorders.

Somatosensorial Evoked Potentials

The evoked potentials test is used to measure the brain’s electrical activity in response to different stimuli.

Bronchodilation and pulmonary diffusion tests

Diagnostic tests to assess lung capacity. They are used to diagnose certain lung diseases and monitor the condition of individuals with established lung disease, as they help determine whether the disease is improving or worsening.

Computed vestibular tests

Specific exploration of balance systems in the ear, held by videonystagmography.

Campimetry

Study of the visual field and detections of its defects.

Pachymetry

Pachymetry is the measure of the thickness of the corneal tissue or the corneal thickness.

Prick Test

These tests measure the physiological reactions to allergens that are considered responsible for the allergy. Tests are performed on the skin and are the main diagnostic tool with the clinical history to provide immediate medical results (fifteen minutes).

Patch Test

Fetal monitoring

A fetal assessment method that records the fetal heart rate, fetal movements and uterine contraction.

Neuropsychological Test

Psychological tests

Intolerance Tests

Lactose, Fructose, Glucose and Sorbitol. Diagnostic tests that allow the patient to ascertain the presence of food hypersensitivity that may cause an adverse reaction in the organism.
