The proximal canaliculi can be imaged in patients with canaliculitis utilizing ultrasound biomicroscopy. The caliber of the proximal canalicular lumina, dilated by the disease process, can be evaluated. In addition, stones, debris and tissue fluid may be visualized within the system, without the need to inject a viscous material. This technique may prove to be of value in patients with mild or subclinical canaliculitis from the perspective of diagnosis. Outlining the extent of the disease process within the canaliculus may have some therapeutic value as well.
利用超声生物显微镜可对患有泪小管炎的患者的近端泪小管进行成像。可评估因疾病过程而扩张的近端泪小管腔的管径。此外，无需注射粘性物质即可在该系统内观察到结石、碎屑和组织液。从诊断的角度来看，这项技术可能对轻度或亚临床泪小管炎患者具有价值。勾勒出泪小管内疾病过程的范围可能也具有一定的治疗价值。
