[The diagnostic results in lacrimation pathology using a dacryoscintigraphic method]

Dacryoscintigraphy used for diagnosing the lacrimal apparatus pathology in 27 patients has revealed the advantage of this method over the previously used methods (the West's color test, X-ray contrast dacryoscintigraphy, diagnostic washing of tear passages) having a number of shortcomings. Of a special value is dacryoscintigraphy for diagnosing functional disturbances in the lacrimal apparatus. However, a full information about the state of tear passages can be received only by complex usage of all the mentioned methods.
