[Role of high-frequency duplex scanning in the differential diagnosis of uveal melanomas and solitary choroidal hemangiomas].

The present paper presents the results of a study of hemodynamic features in 83 patients with intraocular tumors (74 uveal melanomas and 9 solitary choroidal hemangiomas), by applying high-frequency duplex scanning with color Doppler coding and Doppler spectral analysis of flows. The tumors in question are shown to differ in the qualitative and quantitative indicators of blood flow, which can be successfully used in the complex differential diagnosis and in the adjustment of management policy in the patients of this category.
