Curves for the rate of defects developing and resolving radiographically in some joints. The graphs show the number of defects that became visible (red asterisks, *) and resolved (green currency signs, ¤) on the y-axes from the 2nd to the 8th examination interval on the x-axes in the elbow (a), carpus (b), stifle (c) and tarsus (d). The rate of defects developing and resolving radiographically decreased during the study. The curves for defects developing in the elbow, carpus, stifle and tarsus showed a distinct early and late peak (red arrows) as they dropped.
