摘要：

Ultrasonography has become an important imaging modality for the evaluation of thyroid and parathyroid glands because it is easy to approach due to anatomical localization, is a non-invasive method and it does not require general anesthesia compared to MRI and CT (especially in older dogs and cats). One of the strengths of ultrasound imaging is its ability to examine very small soft-tissue structures. The neck represents an unfamiliar territory to many practitioners who focus their skills on abdominal ultrasound. During the ultrasound examination of thyroid and parathyroid glands the peripheral anatomical structures becomes important landmarks in order to localize the glands. Thyroid gland ultrasound is frequently used to assess the gland in cases of suspected thyroiditis or gland enlargement. Ultrasonography is also used for guiding fine needle aspirates and biopsies of the gland.
