A Portable Radiometric System for Evaluating Lacrimal Drainage

The list of equipment for the departments of radionuclide diagnostics is rather wide. New technology of silicon photomultiplier allows the creation of small size gamma-ray detectors. The paper considers the developed in Ural Federal University portable radiometric system for nuclear medicine. In particular, the capabilities of the device in the methods of dacryoscintigraphy are considered. Specially developed phantom model of the eye was created to make comparative test with using of SPECT. Phantom tests conducted indicate a potential possibility of reducing the amount of input radiopharmaceutical without losing the information content of the study.
