Shape distribution for the articular surface of the right (RCr) and left (LCr) cranial articular processes 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)
Cc concave, Cv convex, P plane, S sigmoid
^aStatistically significant difference between clinically normal and CSM-affected Great Danes (P < 0.05)
