Thyroid scintigraphy is performed in cats and dogs and has been used to a limited degree in other species such as the horse. Thyroid scintigraphy is most commonly used to aid in the diagnosis and treatment management of feline hyperthyroidism but is also used in the evaluation of canine hypothyroidism and canine thyroid carcinoma. This article reviews the normal scintigraphic appearance of the thyroid in the cat, the dog, and the horse and the principles of interpretation of abnormal scan results in the cat and the dog. Radioiodine is the treatment of choice for feline hyperthyroidism, and the principles of its use in the cat are reviewed.
甲状腺闪烁显像术在猫和狗中进行，并且在马等其他物种中也有一定程度的应用。甲状腺闪烁显像术最常用于辅助诊断和治疗管理猫的甲状腺机能亢进症，但也用于评估犬甲状腺功能减退症和犬甲状腺癌。本文综述了猫、狗和马的甲状腺正常闪烁显像表现，以及猫和狗异常扫描结果的解释原则。放射性碘是治疗猫甲状腺机能亢进症的首选方法，本文回顾了其在猫中的使用原则。
