Overview
Other Imaging Findings
Ultrasound biomicroscopy
Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a special type of ultrasound that uses sound waves at even higher frequency than ultrasound to image the front parts of the eye.
Optical coherence tomography
Optical coherence tomography is a test that uses light waves instead of sound waves to create very detailed images of the back of the eye (fundus).
Color fundus photography
With color fundus photography photographs of the fundus are taken, that help to show what the tumor looks like before and after treatment.
Fluorescein angiography
Fluorescein angiography lets the doctor see the blood vessels inside the eye. Although melanomas don’t have a special appearance with fluorescein angiography, some other eye problems do. Doctors can use this method to tell if something is not a melanoma.
