A comparison of 17 radiological examinations of the lacrimal pathways performed on twelve patients using digital subtraction and conventional film technique showed that digital subtraction dacryocystography yields images of superior quality. Digital subtraction makes enhanced imaging of the opacified tear duct as well as elimination of super-imposing skeletal structures possible, which with conventional techniques frequently impair diagnostic accuracy. In measurements of the radiation dose sustained by the crystalline lens, the radiation level with digital subtraction was found to be considerably lower than with the conventional method.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

D013382 Subtraction Technique Combination or superimposition of two images for demonstrating differences between them (e.g., radiograph with contrast vs. one without, radionuclide images using different radionuclides, radiograph vs. radionuclide image) and in the preparation of audiovisual materials (e.g., offsetting identical images, coloring of vessels in angiograms).
