Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Based and Conventional Measurements for Proton Beam Therapy of Uveal Melanoma

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging allowed for the 3-dimensional assessment of the tumor and surrounding tissue. In specific patients, it provided a more reliable measurement of axial length, tumor dimensions, and marker-tumor distances and could contribute to a more accurate treatment planning. Nevertheless, a combined evaluation remains advised, especially for flat UM.
