Abstract
Nuclear medicine is a medical practice used to diagnose or treat some diseases. Pulmonary scintigraphy is one of the most common nuclear medicine exams in humans and domestic animals (dogs, cats and horses). Due to their differences, this work proposed to describe the performance of lung scintigraphy in human and veterinary medicine through the literature and present the main differences in the procedures performed in each species. For the preparation of this review were used books, periodicals, sites with online publications found in Google Scholar, Scielo, Bireme and Pubmed. Through the descriptions of pulmonary scintigraphy presented in this review, it was possible to identify the main differences among the analyzed species, such as dose utilization, use of chemical containment, the stages of the examination, isolation and adaptations present in the equipment used.
