title: The use of radioactive phosphorus (32P) in the diagnosis of ocular tumors.
abstract: 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.
