Digital subtraction macrodacryocystography by videotechnique.

Digital subtraction macrodacryocystography (DSMD) has proved to be the best imaging method for diagnosing situations of stenosis of the lacrimal system. The examination is performed with a computer-controlled X-ray unit with a C-arc coupled to an image intensifier TV system with a fluoroscopic control. All the findings were recorded on videotape thus allowing good dynamic flow documentation and contributing to improved scientific analysis.
