ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) in diagnosis of choroidal melanoma.Methods A comparative analysis was carried retrospectively on sonograms,pathological and clinical data of 13 choroidal melanoma cases,confirmed by pathology and operation.Results The pre-operative diagnosing rate of choroidal malignant melanoma by CDFI in the study was 100%.The sonogram features were divided into three types hemispherical type,mushroom type and diffusive type.Conclusions Characters of blood flow signal of intraocular occupying lesions were valuable to distinguish choroidal malignant melanoma from other diseases.
