Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoints of this study are the MRI-based description of the tumour and the comparison with the conventional ultrasound description: 1. Tumour prominence 2. Tumour basal diameter 3. The presence of extrascleral extension 4. Ciliary body involvement of the tumour 5. Radiological characteristics of UM, including signal level after contrast, on diffusion and perfusion. 7T MRI will be used as gold standard for tumour dimensions. Histological material will be used as gold standard for extrascleral extension, ciliary body involvement and for correlating radiological characteristics with the pathology. The 3T MRI findings will be compared to the 7T MRI findings to assess whether the increased resolution of the 7Tesla is needed for the evaluation of UM or whether they can also be performed with the images from a clinical 3Tesla scanner. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As secondary endpoints we will evaluate whether there are MRI findings with prognostic implications and the role of MRI in the follow-up of patients treated with ruthenium plaque therapy. | — |
