Imaging tests, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imagery are very important and are used widely in the clinic to obtain a qualitative diagnosis and the location of ocular tumors. But these methods cannot determine the severity of malignant tumors and whether they have local or distant metastasis. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) displays anatomic and metabolic abnormalities by combining the PET and CT imaging and analyzing the standard uptake value (SUV). PET-CT has been used in the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma, orbital lymphoma, orbital rhabdomyosarcoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland. It provides a new diagnostic tool for confirming ocular tumors and systemic metastatic tumors originating from them.
