The use of radioactive phosphorus (32P) in the diagnosis of ocular tumors.
The radioactive phosphorus (32P) uptake test used in ocular tumor evaluation in 408 cases achieved an overall percentage error rate of 3.6%. This compared favorably with the clinical error rate of 19.2% overall. The least accuracy was obtained in cases with ciliary body lesions.
