 Dacryoscintigraphy Scan

Dacryoscintigraphy Scan

Tear duct scan is one of the diagnostic methods to ensure the openness of the tear ducts and the absence of obstruction. This scan is performed with the help of radioactive materials. This is performed specifically with radiopharmaceutic technium (Tc-99m) and by SPECT device (gamma-camera).

Patients should avoid approaching children under 12 years of age, pregnant women and medical staff for 8 hours after this scan and observe at least 2 meters of social distance to others.

After a scan of the tear ducts, patients should wash their eyes with plenty of running water.

After the surgery of the tear ducts, there are no food and drug restrictions.
