title: Proximal canalicular imaging utilizing ultrasound biomicroscopy C Experimental balloon catheter dilatation.
abstract: If proximal canalicular obstruction is to be treated by balloon catheter dilatation, a technique must be available to measure the short-term and long-term effects of the dilatation. Ultrasound biomicroscopy can image the pre-dilated and post-dilated proximal canaliculus in vivo. Further in vivo studies will determine the potential of this technique in the clinical setting.
