Other imaging studies of uveal melanoma include ultrasound biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, transillumination, and photography.
[[PET scan]], [[ultrasound]] biomicroscopy, [[optical coherence tomography]], color [[fundus]] photography, [[fluorescein angiography]], indocyanine green [[angiography]], [[transillumination]], and photography may be helpful in the [[diagnosis]] of uveal melanoma.

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.
 
===Positron Emission Tomography Scan===
 
* A baseline [[PET scan]] of the [[liver]] and other [[Abdomen|abdominal]] [[Organ (anatomy)|organs]] is recommended in pati[[e]]<nowiki/>nts with a uveal melanoma.

===Optical coherence tomography===
===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===
===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.  
 
* Color fundus photography photographs of the [[Fundus (eye)|fundus]] helps to show whether the [[tumor]] looks the same as before treatment or not.
===Fluorescein angiography===
===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.
 
* [[Fluorescein angiography]] is a procedure to look at [[blood vessels]] inside the [[eye]].<ref name="PettitBarton1970">{{cite journal|last1=Pettit|first1=T.

===Indocyanine green angiography===
Indocyanine green angiography is a procedure to look at blood vessels in the choroid layer of the eye.

===Transillumination===
===Transillumination===
Transillumination is an exam of the iris, cornea, lens, and ciliary body with a light placed on either the upper or lower lid. This procedure is used to examine eye structures for any gross abnormality.

High resolution digital cameras are used to take pictures of the inside and outside of the eye and to view the structures in the back and front of the eye. These photographs are important for documenting the tumor and its relationship to important structures of the eye. By comparing photographs before and after treatment, they can help determine whether the treatment given is effective.

Optical coherence tomography

Color fundus photography

  • Color fundus photography photographs of the fundus helps to show whether the tumor looks the same as before treatment or not.

Fluorescein angiography

Indocyanine green angiography

Transillumination

  • We may see the tumor as a dark shadow with well-defined margins.

Photography

  • High resolution digital cameras are used to take pictures of the inside and outside of the eye and to view the structures in the back and front of the eye.
  • These photographs are important for documenting the tumor and its relationship to important structures of the eye.
  • By comparing photographs before and after treatment, they can help determine whether the treatment given is effective.
