 Other diagnostic studies for uveal melanoma include ultrasound biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein angiography.
 == Other Diagnostic Studies==
-===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.
