title: Poor Uptake of Fluorodeoxyglucose in Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography Scan for Intraocular Choroidal Melanoma in Asian Indian Eyes.
abstract: Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan is fast becoming a very useful tool in diagnosing and staging of several malignancies that affect the human body. We report three cases of ocular choroidal malignant melanoma, wherein FDG PET-CT scan did not show as good uptake as seen in other cancers.
