Ignacio Barber Martínez de la Torre

Between 2002 and 2004, I worked as an attending radiologist at Sant Joan de Reus Hospital, the same position I held at Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona between 2004 and 2005. From then until 2016 I was an attending radiologist at the Vall d'Hebron Maternity and Children's Hospital. In 2016 I became Head of the Pediatric Radiology department at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital, where I currently work.
