    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Current methods for characterizing choroidal melanomas, such as infrared color translation photography, have limitations in reliability.
    • Accurate characterization is crucial for differentiating malignant melanomas from other choroidal lesions.

    Observation:

    • An infrared sensor was integrated into a fundus camera to measure infrared reflectance from the fundus surface.
    • The sensor signal was visualized using an oscilloscope, enabling direct measurement of reflectance patterns.

    Findings:

    • The novel infrared detection method demonstrated increased accuracy in characterizing choroidal malignant melanomas compared to existing techniques.
    • Correlations with radioactive phosphorus uptake, fluorescein angiography, and histopathology validated the infrared findings.

  • In one case, this technique was the first to detect the spread of a choroidal melanoma.

    • Implications:

    • This simple and accurate infrared technique holds potential for improved diagnosis and management of choroidal melanomas.
    • Further refinements of this method could enhance diagnostic capabilities in ophthalmology and oncology.
    • The technique aids in distinguishing malignant melanomas from benign choroidal nevi, metastatic tumors, and macular degeneration.
