Radiology translation: German → Italian
Combining a field and a direction narrows the vocabulary sharply: a radiology document in the combination German → Italian draws on a fixed set of terms, and the translator we assign has that set in active use rather than looking it up.
Documents from radiology rarely travel alone: a single case file can hold imaging report (MRI, CT, X-ray), medical report, informed consent form, each with its own conventions for abbreviations, units and reference ranges. We assign them to translators who have worked inside this field and who know when a term of art must stay in Latin and when it has to be rendered for a lay reader.
Where an implant, a prosthesis or an imaging system is involved, product names, catalogue numbers and manufacturer wording are reproduced exactly, because these identify a specific device and its documentation.
Everything is delivered with a certificate of accuracy, which is what a hospital admissions office, an insurer or a foreign registration body will look for. If the file has to be filed abroad, we add notarisation and the apostille of the cantonal chancellery, and we can arrange embassy or consulate legalisation for countries outside the Hague Convention.

Frequently asked questions
Will a Swiss authority accept your translation?
Yes. Every certified translation is bound to a copy of the source document and carries our stamp, the translator's signature and a declaration of completeness and accuracy. Switzerland has no single national register of sworn translators, so authorities look at the certification and, where the document travels abroad, at the notarisation and apostille. Tell us which office will receive the file and we will apply the exact form it requires.
How much does a medical translation cost?
Price depends on word count, language combination, the level of specialisation and whether certification, notarisation or an apostille is needed. A one-page medical certificate is a small fixed fee; a fifty-page oncology file is quoted per word. Send the document and you get one figure that includes certification and postage, valid for thirty days.
Do you handle the apostille yourselves?
Yes. After certification we take the file to a notary, then to the state chancellery of the canton concerned for the apostille under the 1961 Hague Convention. If the destination country is not a party to that convention, the document continues to the Federal Chancellery, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and then the relevant embassy or consulate. You approve the route and the fees before we begin.
