Purpose To find and analyze characteristic features of choroidal tumors and surrounding tissues, retina, choroid and vessels. Methods Patients with choroidal tumors (choroidal nevus, choroidal melanoma, choroidal metastses, choroidal hemangioma, choroidal osteoma and others) diagnosed and treated in Department of Ophthalmology and Ocular Oncology of University Hospital were included. Swept Source OCT (DRI OCT‐1) developed by Topcon was used for imaging. Results Deep range imaging DRI‐OCT‐1 displays detail structures of not only retina but choroid and even sclera. The characteristic features, of intraocular tumors can improve the differential diagnosis and estimation of progression or treatment effects. Conclusion The new diagnostic modality may be useful for the evaluation of abnormalities observed intratumoral and in a border area and can improve diagnostic accuracy.
