Summary A large variety of imaging techniques are presently used in ocular oncology in order to document intraocular, epibulbar and iris tumors. The imaging of choroidal and retinal tumors is obtained either by digital or by scanning laser fundus cameras. Panoramic fundus pictures are obtained both with transpupillary and transscleral illumination. Imaging of epibulbar and iris tumors is obtained with split lamp photographies and gonio photographies. Standard fluoresceine angiography and ICG as well as panoramic angiography (102° – 150°) in ocular oncology are used according to the location and the extend of the tumors and the serous retinal detachment. Retinal thickness, retinal structure and the interface between retina and pigmented epithelium are studied by OCT . More recently, OCT en Face and Angio‐ OCT provide useful informations on the extend of the retinal detachment and the retinal vascular changes of the macular area. The more appropriate technique has to be always used in order to obtain the best quality of imaging and avoid diagnostic errors.
