The purpose of this study was to report the scintigraphic and sonographic appearance of the thyroid gland in clinically normal horses so these modalities could be used to assess the thyroid gland in this species. Horses were divided into two age groups. Group A consisted of 8 horses between 3 and 10 years of age and Group B of 7 horses between 11 and 20 years of age. Total T4 concentrations were within the laboratory reference interval. Thyroid to salivary (T/S) ratio, percent dose uptake of pertechnetate and thyroid lobe volume were calculated.

O câncer de tireoide é um dos mais comuns da região da cabeça e pescoço. Atualmente, o método mais eficaz no diagnóstico de lesões da tireoide é a técnica de biópsia conhecida por punção aspirativa por agulha fina (PAAF) guiada por ultrassom. As imagens de ultrassom são utilizadas como guia para inserção de uma agulha fina até a região da lesão, onde são retirados fragmentos de tecido para análise microscópica. O sucesso dos procedimentos de biópsias está diretamente ligado a experiência do médico desde guiar a agulha à lesão até a preparação das lâminas para análise microscópica. O treinamen
