Welcome to the LRD Diagnostic Ultrasound Website.
My name is Lance R. Dursi, the Sonographer and owner of LRD.
LRD began service in 1983, offering obstetric ultrasound consulting for private practice medical
groups and clinics. As a pioneer of this type of service, I wanted to offer a more personal and
professional service than other imaging services by being the first local technologist to video
record the examinations for patient and family viewing . My patients always receive their baby's
image protected by plastic, rather than the typical "fax paper" prints.
Since opening my Los Gatos office I have seen thousands of patients. They return again and again,
telling me that their other ultrasound experiences were somehow inadequate. The most common
complaints are the lack of experience of the ultrasound practitioner, the lack of communication,
and poor equipment. These are very common problems now that many physicians and nurses are offering
ultrasound services within their private offices. Virtually none of these operators are RDMS
certified, which leaves their qualifications and skill level a total mystery. The ultrasound
scanners in this setting are often the cheapest and lowest quality available.
At LRD, patients can expect to be seen only by me, a technologist with 25 years of experience in
obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound. I am proud to be registered by the American Registry of
Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (RDMS), and have been so since 1985. My other affiliations are
with the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and The American Institute of Ultrasound in
Medicine.
