Although indirect ophthalmoscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment of retinoblastoma, HHSD OCT is a valuable tool in better understanding and managing retinoblastoma.
IAC for the treatment of retinoblastoma is a technique that has been gaining popularity in recent years, but is not without complications. Continued research is warranted to further improve current techniques and delivery of chemotherapeutic agents into the eye.
Ultrasonography showed limited specificity for detecting subtle SRF related to small choroidal melanocytic tumors, with 45% of patients showing ultrasonographic apical double echo in the absence of SRF with OCT. The retinal changes that yielded false-positive results included retinal cystic degenerations, retinal thickening, and retinal pigment epithelium detachment. Optical coherence tomography is preferred to verify the presence of subtle SRF over small choroidal melanocytic tumors, provided that the inferior tumor margin is included in imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
