Abstract

The results of the 32P uptake test in the diagnosis of intraocular malignancies is presented. The tests were carried out with the use of newly developed eye probe. A quantitative comparison of different control sites is described, and a statistical analysis has been conducted on the counts obtained during the uptake procedure.
