“…6,[24][25][26][27][28][29] In our study, we administered nonionic gadolinium-based MR imaging contrast agent (gadobutrol, Gd-DO3A-butrol; Gadovist 1.0 mmol/mL), which is more viscous (viscosity, 4,96 mPa at 37°C) and has twice the gadolinium concentration (1.0 mmol/mL) of the other gadolinium-based contrast agents. During the DS DCG examinations, Priebe et al 30 administered the same contrast media into the LDSs of 3 patients who had a history of severe allergic reactions to iodinated contrast media.…”

“…The first radiographic examinations of the LDS were carried out by Aubaret in 1911 and Szily in 1914 [8]. Since then, a variety of imaging techniques have been developed for the lacrimal apparatus, including DS-DCG, scintigraphy, ultrasonography, post-dacryocystographic computed tomography, and magnetic resonance dacryocystography [7].…”

Background: Asymmetric lacrimal flow occurs in females more than males. We hypothesised that the normal lacrimal drainage system (LDS) may show subtle left-right asymmetry in morphometry when imaged on dacryocystography (DCG). Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 60 normal bilateral LDSs. Images were analysed for 7 parameters: (1) combined length of either the superior or inferior canaliculus plus common canaliculus, (2) angle of insertion of common canaliculus into lacrimal sac (LS), (3, 4) length and width of the LS, (5) length of the nasolacrimal duct (NLD), and (6, 7) width of proximal and distal NLD. We tested

“…Although MRI is a more expensive method, it does not utilize ionizing radiation, allowing acquisition of 3D images, and providing additional information on adjacent soft tissues. Therefore it may be added to the protocol for study of lacrimal pathways (18) . Figure 11.…”

The authors perform a revisional and iconographic study of the lacrimal system by means of radiological methods, namely, conventional radiography, linear tomography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Image methods are essential to define diagnosis and therapy, considering that besides demonstrating alterations of the lacrimal system, they may indicate the patients with better prognosis associated with the surgical approach. Considering the lower cost, lower radiation dose, low rate of complications, and level of information that can be obtained dacryocystography by means of linear tomography is recommended as the initial investigation method. Keywords: Dacryocystography; Lacrimal system; Obstruction of the lacrimal system. Avaliação da via lacrimal pelos métodos radiológicos.Os autores realizam um estudo revisional e iconográfico das vias lacrimais através dos métodos radiológi-cos, sendo eles a radiografia convencional, a tomografia linear, a tomografia computadorizada e a ressonân-cia magnética. Os métodos de imagem são fundamentais para definir diagnóstico e terapia, pois, além de demonstrarem as alterações das vias lacrimais, sugerem quais os pacientes que terão melhor prognóstico com a abordagem cirúrgica. Pelo seu custo mais baixo, menor dose de radiação, baixo índice de complicações e pela informação que pode ser obtida, recomenda-se que a dacriocistografia por tomografia linear seja o método inicial de investigação.
