Overview
Other diagnostic studies for retinoblastoma include fluorescein angiography and electroretinogram.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Fluorescein Angiography
- This imaging study can be used to differentiate retinoblastoma from other lesions.[1]
- Fluorescein angiography is particularly helpful in differentiating the tumor from the advanced form of Coats’s disease.
- Imaging findings associated with the diagnosis of retinoblastoma include:
- Normal filling of enlarged dilated vessels entering a hyper- and hypo-fluorescent tumor mass
Electroretinogram
- Electroretinogram may be helpful in treatment and monitoring of retinoblastoma. It may be used for:[2]
