Quantitative lacrimal scintillography. I. Method and physiological application

J J Hurwitz et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 1975 Jun.

Abstract

Quantitative lacrimal scintillography, using 99mTc sulphur colloid, a high resolution gamma camera, and quantification using a digital computer, is a highly effective way of assessing lacrimal physiology, and of establishing normal flow and drainage values against which pathological cases may be compared.
