Abstract:

Optical coherence tomography(OCT) can be used for the observation and diagnosis of choroidal tumors(such as choroidal melanoma, choroidal metastasis, choroidal hemangioma, choroidal osteoma, etc.). The tumor surface morphology, the degree of retinal edema, the retinal inferior fluid, photoreceptor layer changes, retinal structural integrity, choroidal thickness, and abnormal reflection structure can be described qualitatively and quantitatively by OCT. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) can observe the characteristics of retinal and choroidal blood flow in the tumor and its surrounding tissues, and guide the treatment of choroidal tumors to a certain extent.
