Background
Current standard treatment procedures for Ruthenium‐106 (Ru‐106) brachytherapy for choroidal melanomas do not use 3D image‐guided treatment planning. We evaluated the potential impact of introducing 3D treatment planning and quantified the theoretical clinical benefits in terms of tumour control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP).

Purpose
The use of planar ultra‐widefield fundus photography (UWF) may result in distortions and inaccurate measurement. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of UWF instead of the standard narrow field (SF) for the treatment planning phase of ocular tumours.
Methods
Distortions between conformal SF and UWF were assessed in 43 patients with choroidal melanoma treated with either proton...
