AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2000 Aug;175(2):469-73. doi: 10.2214/ajr.175.2.1750469.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of newly implemented dynamic MR dacryocystography.

Conclusion: Dynamic MR dacryocystography, which requires neither ionizing radiation nor chemical contrast media with high viscosity, may be a useful tool for depicting nasolacrimal obstructions.
