  • Title: 51Cr-bleomycin in the diagnosis of ocular melanoma.
    Author: Liniecki J, Pertyński T, Krawczykowa Z, Stepień J, Durski K.
    Journal: Nuklearmedizin; 1983 Dec; 22(6):306-8. PubMed ID: 6199747.
    Abstract:
    51Cr-bleomycin was administered to 18 patients suspected of having an ocular melanoma with varying degree of development. The diagnosis was verified prior to surgical removal of the eye-ball by fluorescent angiography and computerized axial tomography. In operated patients histological diagnosis was also available. Scintigraphy after 51Cr-bleomycin administration appeared to be an effective diagnostic measure: sensitivity and specificity reached 90 and 87%, respectively. It is concluded that the method is useful in the preoperative diagnosis of ocular melanoma.
