[Use of a new Indis computer program to analyze the results of lacrimal scintigraphy].

Objective: To study the diagnostic importance of a new Indis software package for the postprocessing of the results of radionuclude examinations (Center for Information and Diagnostic Systems, St. Petersburg, Russia) when analyzing the results of lacrimal scintigraphy.

Material And Methods: Dynamic lacrimal scintigraphy was carried out in 6 volunteers (12 eyes) and 20 patients (32 years) with dacryostenosis.

[Single-photon emission computed tomography in combination with X-ray computed tomography in the study of lacrimal passages. First results].

Objective: To explore the capabilities of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in combination with x-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in the study of the anatomy and drainage function of lacrimal passages.

Material And Methods: Twelve scans were carried out in 6 healthy volunteers and in patients with different lacrimal drainage disorders (dacryostenoses, varying obstructive lacrimal passage, dacryocystitis and post-dacryocystorhinostomy). Sodium pertechnetate (99mTc) solution and a radiocontrast agent were instilled into the conjunctival sac during the study.

[Ventricular ejection fraction in oxygen therapy of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].

Radionuclide study of ejection fraction of the right heart ventricle was carried out in lung tuberculosis patients with respiratory insufficiency and cor pulmonale. Oxygen therapy was found to promote reduction of right ventricle heart failure in effective treatment of lung tuberculosis. The greatest reduction of heart failure was recorded in cases where oxygen therapy was combined with cardiac glycosides.
