AimTo characterise combinations of multimodal imaging risk factors and predictive value for choroidal nevus transformation into melanoma.MethodsThis is a retrospective review of multimodal imaging features for 3806 choroidal nevi from 1 January 2007 through 1 January 2017. Kaplan-Meier estimates and...
