Abstract:

<title/>

This review describes the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasonography in the two most frequent thyroid pathologies of the dog: thyroid neoplasia and acquired primary hypothyroidism. Although ultrasonography and nuclear medicine are routine imaging modalities for the investigation of thyroid disease in dogs and cats, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are gaining increasing popularity. Both of these latter modalities are especially useful in staging thyroid neoplasia.
