Choroidal Melanoma

Tumors

is a form of malignant tumor derived from pigment cells initiated in the choroid. If an ocular tumor is suspected, opto map fa can aid in determining the characteristics of the retinal circulation at or around the tumor mass as well as establishing if the tumor is leaking dye or blocking fluorescence.

Multimode opto map fa imaging allows for documentation and monitoring of the extensive retinal changes and patterns of vascular damage that can be associated with choroidal tumors and their treatment. 1
