Description
Janssen and co-authors checked whether two advanced MRI measurements of eye tumors give the same answers when repeated at different hospitals, a requirement before scans can guide diagnosis or judge treatment response. Fifteen patients with uveal melanoma, the most common primary eye cancer in adults, each underwent two scans at two centers.
The repeat scans were separated by a mean interval of 28 days, ranging from 12 to 43 days between visits. Average absolute differences stayed small: 0.07 units on the diffusion measure, 0.11 on relative peak intensity, and 6 percentage points on outflow percentage between the two timepoints. The authors conclude that this variability is smaller than the differences clinicians rely on when distinguishing tumor types or assessing response to radiation, supporting use across centers.
