Unlocking Precision in Diagnostics: Dacryocystography-DCG (bilateral) Procedure

Unlocking Precision in Diagnostics: Dacryocystography-DCG (bilateral) Procedure

In the world of medical diagnostics, precision and innovation are paramount. A recent case highlights how advanced imaging technology like the Eco-Track-DRF (Remote Control Digital Radiography and Fluoroscopy Systems) from Allengers is transforming the field and successfully diagnosed and treated bilateral nasolacrimal duct blockages with exceptional clarity and accuracy. The procedure was Dacryocystography (DCG), a key imaging technique for evaluating lacrimal duct blockages.

Case details:

The procedure involved a comprehensive examination of DCG Procedure with detailed imaging facilitated by the high-resolution and dynamic features of both the eyes.

Right eye:

A single-shot DR-like X-ray captured the contrast injected through the inferior punctum, highlighting a patient common canaliculus. The sac was clearly visualized and notably dilated in the first image. However, the nasolacrimal duct was not visible, leading to a diagnosis of a complete nasolacrimal duct block.

Left eye:

Using continuous cine imaging at a rate of 5 frames per second, the contrast injected through the inferior punctum illuminated the common canaliculus and a well-dilated sac. The nasolacrimal duct was partially visible, resulting in a diagnosis of partial nasolacrimal duct block.

What makes this procedure exceptional and how it will benefitted to the clinician

• Cutting-edge imaging capabilities

The Eco-Track DRF offers the perfect combination of static and dynamic imaging. While the single-shot mode delivers high-resolution stills, the cine imaging ensures no moment is missed, capturing real-time contrast flow for dynamic diagnoses.

• Cine imaging at its best

The ability to record frames enables clinicians to study subtle variations in contrast flow, crucial for conditions like partial obstructions. This feature provided a seamless and precise analysis of the left eye’s nasolacrimal duct.

• Patient comfort with minimal intervention

The procedure was minimally invasive, requiring only contrast injection through the inferior punctum, reducing patient discomfort while delivering comprehensive insights.

Facts about Nasolacrimal Duct blockages

• The nasolacrimal duct plays a vital role in tear drainage. Blockages can cause excessive tearing, infections, and discomfort.

• Dynamic contrast imaging can achieve diagnostic accuracies as high making it the gold standard for lacrimal system evaluations.

Empowering diagnostics with technology

This case demonstrates the immense potential of modern medical imaging systems in routine diagnostics. With the Eco-Track DRF:

• Doctors can achieve unmatched diagnostic precision, improving outcomes for complex cases.

• Patients benefit from faster and more accurate diagnoses, ensuring timely interventions and better overall care.

Conclusion

Through the seamless integration of advanced imaging systems, Diagnostic Centre exemplifies the future of diagnostics: precision, efficiency, and improved patient experiences. For more information on Allengers state of the art products, kindly visit: www.allengers.com
