Scintigraphic pulmonary perfusion imaging in the dog has been described for the clinically normal animal. The usefulness of this technique in the patient with pulmonary dysfunction was assessed by review of 76 consecutive clinical cases completed in a 6-month period. This review indicated that 3 basic patterns of perfusion defects are commonly seen in the dog. These were associated with (1) diffuse parenchymal metastatic disease, (2) mediastinal metastatic disease, and (3) heartworm disease. The technique has proved reliable as an aid in the staging of neoplastic disease and of some potential value in heartworm disease and is now performed on a routine basis at this institution for purposes of clinical diagnosis.
犬的放射性核素肺灌注成像已在临床正常动物中有所描述。通过回顾6个月内完成的76例连续临床病例，评估了该技术在肺功能障碍患者中的实用性。该回顾表明，犬常见3种基本灌注缺损模式。这些与（1）弥漫性实质转移性疾病、（2）纵隔转移性疾病和（3）心丝虫病有关。该技术已被证明作为肿瘤疾病分期的辅助手段是可靠的，在心丝虫病中具有一定潜在价值，目前在本机构已作为临床诊断的常规检查。
