Abstract. Purpose:To report our clinical experience of dacryocystography using digital tomosynthesis, a modified technique of tomography. Cases and Method:This study was performed on 4 sides of 4 patients who had unilateral chronic dacryocystitis with obstruction of nasolacrimal duct. The series comprised one male and 3 females. The age ranged from 41 to 79 years, average 59 years. All the cases underwent dacrocystography using tomosynthesis. The three-dimensional information was converted into images consisting of horizontal slices 1 to 2 mm in thickness. Result:The image quality improved, particularly in areas of complicated bone structure. The present technique showed clearer images of lacrimal canaliculus, lacrimal sac and obstructed site than conventional method. Serial imaging of multiple sections allowed stereoscopic observation. It took 3 to 5 minutes to obtain the original data and reconstruct the images. Conclusion:Digital tomosynthesis promises to be useful in dacryocystography.
