Fluorescein angiography in the follow-up study of choroidal melanoma after 106Ru/106Rh plaque therapy.
Characteristic angiographic findings of 220 patients before and after 106Ru/106Rh plaque irradiation of choroidal melanomas are described. Fluorescein angiography may provide valuable information, especially of the different stages of tumor regression after local brachytherapy.
