title: Lacrimal pathology evaluated by dynamic lacrimal scintigraphy.
abstract: This study of pathological lacrimal systems demonstrated the usefulness and sensitivity of dynamic lacrimal scintigraphy (dynamic use of computer assisted gamma camera). The method was very sensitive; even small lacrimal obstructions caused a distinct change of the outflow curves. This technique complements other tests in lacrimal assessment especially in patients with epiphora and normal conventional tests.
