Abstract
Lacrimal dacryoscintigraphy facilitates definite diagnosis of obstructions and stenosis
of the lacrimal drainage system with little stress to the patient. Together with x-ray
dacryocystography it is an important diagnostic tool especially for pre- and postoperative
evaluation of the drainage apparatus. Dacryoscintigraphy is the best method for measuring
the dynamics of tear drainage especially in the canaliculi. Although it is not a substitute
for other methods in general use, it complements them and expands their diagnostic
accuracy.
