In in vitro and in vivo studies, episclerally sutured radio-opaque markers were evaluated as localizers for better determination of the clinical tumour volume prior to stereotactic radio-therapy of uveal melanoma. Four different types of markers were studied in vitro: tantalum marker, 2.5 mm in diameter; ring-shaped markers custom-designed in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), 2.6 mm and 3.0 mm in diameter; and barium-impregnated silicone rubber spheres, 2 mm in diameter. In vivo PMMA markers 3.0 mm in diameter and barium-impregnated silicone rubber spheres 2 mm in diameter were used. The best results were obtained with the barium-impregnated silicone rubber spheres both in vitro and in vivo. For the CT-delineation of selected uveal melanomas with either a flat discoid shape or flat tumour extensions or when adjacent serous retinal detachment is present, small episclerally sutured barium-impregnated silicone rubber spheres are useful as localizers for determining the clinical tumour volume.
