The benefits of ultrasound imaging include:

Ultrasound & Pregnancy

You can schedule your ultrasound scan with Dr. Zarian so as to determine due dates early on in your pregnancy.

A prenatal ultrasound scan will also reveal the presence of twins or multiples as well as rule out ectopic pregnancy.

Performing an ultrasound early on in your pregnancy can help in detecting potential problems such as birth defects, breech positioning, placental issues and others.

While you look forward to learning the sex of your unborn baby midway through the pregnancy, you can rely on an ultrasound scan to reveal the exciting news to you.

Dr. Zarian can even use an ultrasound to estimate how large the baby is just before delivery.

Ultrasound & Diagnostics

Dr. Zarian uses ultrasound imaging to diagnose a whole range of conditions affecting the soft tissues and body organs such as the heart and blood vessels, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, ovaries, spleen, uterus, thyroid, eyes and testicles.

This means that an ultrasound can be used to determine the source of swelling, pain or infection that you may suffer from.

The real-time nature of ultrasound images enables the doctor to observe your blood flow and heart valve functions.

Ultrasound & Medical procedures

During medical procedures, Dr. Zarian may use ultrasound imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies, which requires the doctor to remove tissues from a very precise area of the body for analysis.

Ultrasound & Therapeutic uses

Dr. Zarian will perform ultrasound scans to detect and treat soft-tissue injuries.

Due to the versatility of ultrasounds, they can be used to diagnose the damage after a heart attack or other illness such as gallstones and kidney stones.

Through ultrasound images, your doctor will be able to identify cysts, fluids, tumors and abscess in the morning.

An ultrasound will also detect impaired blood flow from clots in the leg.

Ultrasounds are usually painless and safer as they do not require injections, incisions or needles. A typical ultrasound examination lasts for about 45 minutes.

An ultrasound scan is beneficial to the baby, the mother, and the whole family. Contact Dr. David Zarian to schedule your ultrasound examination in Encino, CA, today
