Lacrimal scintigraphy. I. Compartmental analysis of data.
Linear compartmental analysis was applied to lacrimal scintigraphy data from asymptomatic and obstructed lacrimal systems. Failure to achieve satisfactory results in most of the asymptomatic systems studied suggests that variable tear flow is a feature of normal lacrimal drainage which precludes linear analysis. However, in cases where the analysis was successful the results were consistent wit...
متن کاملLacrimal scintigraphy. III. Physiological aspects of lacrimal drainage.
Lacrimal scintigraphy (LS) was performed on asymptomatic lacrimal drainage systems and the results were evaluated to understand the physiology of lacrimal drainage. It was found that a physiological obstruction can exist at the level of the nasolacrimal duct in normal asymptomatic individuals, and it is suggested that this obstruction is due to the resistance offered by the valve of Hasner, whi...
متن کاملLacrimal scintigraphy. II. Its role in the diagnosis of epiphora.
Lacrimal scintigraphy (LS) was performed in 860 lacrimal drainage systems (LDS) in 188 patients with bilateral epiphora and 226 patients with unilateral epiphora. A very high incidence of canalicular obstruction was found in these patients, the incidence being higher in the group with unilateral epiphora. It is suggested that a canalicular block is a commoner cause of obstructive epiphora than ...
متن کاملCompartmental analysis of dynamic nuclear medicine data: models and identifiability
Compartmental models based on tracer mass balance are extensively used in clinical and pre-clinical nuclear medicine in order to obtain quantitative information on tracer metabolism in the biological tissue. This paper is the first of a series of two that deal with the problem of tracer coefficient estimation via compartmental modeling in an inverse problem framework. Specifically, here we disc...
متن کاملPET kinetic analysis--compartmental model.
PET enables not only visualization of the distribution of radiotracer, but also has ability to quantify several biomedical functions. Compartmental model is a basic idea to analyze dynamic PET data. This review describes the principle of the compartmental model and categorizes the techniques and approaches for the compartmental model according to various aspects: model design, experimental desi...
