Liquid crystal contact thermography and lacrimal tract inflammation: a preliminary report.
Inflammation within the lacrimal drainage pathways can be assessed by conventional thermography. Liquid crystal contact thermography, a simpler technique, also provides objective evidence of lacrimal tract inflammation and may prove particularly useful in cases in which no inflammation can be detected clinically.
