  1. Shape distribution for the articular surface of the right (RCd) and left (LCd) caudal articular process from C2-3 to C6-7 in clinically normal Doberman Pinschers (Dob-N) and Great Danes (GD-N) and Doberman Pinschers and Great Danes with cervical spondylomyelopathy (Dob-CSM, GD-CSM)
  2. Cc concave, Cv convex, P plane, S sigmoid
  3. aStatistically significant difference between clinically normal and CSM-affected Great Danes (P < 0.05)
  4. bStatistically significant difference between clinically normal Doberman Pinschers and clinically normal Great Danes (P < 0.05)
  5. c Statistically significant difference between CSM-affected Doberman Pinschers and CSM-affected Great Danes (P < 0.05)
