摘要: No screening method is currently available to differentiate dogs with and without cervical spondylomyelopathy. Intravertebral intervertebral ratios are used in horses can predict vertebral malformation. Intervertebral could be a useful for canine Our purpose was compare intravertebral normal vs. affected Doberman pinschers. Forty were studied, 27 13 normal. Cervical radiographs obtained all dogs. The minimum intra- sagittal diameter established each vertebrae disc space from C 2 7 . Comparisons made between groups specific body levels. effect of gender, age, measurement (analog or digital radiographs) also studied. There no difference either the ratio decreased progressively along spine, being smallest at 6 ‐C , respectively. Age, had significant influence on both inter- ratios, smaller seen as aged male Based our results, have value distinguish clinically pinschers � 2012 Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound.
