T2—T2 weighted MR images, T1—T2 weighted MR images, FLAIR–Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MR images.

x—MRI examination performed once in the time interval, xx—MRI examination performed twice in the time interval, X–time point of the last MRI examination available, which was used for comparison with clinical data.

¹Mentioned sequences were available in at least 1 MRI examination.

²Dogs had decompressive surgery in other veterinary clinics or hospitals before presentation in the Small Animal Clinic of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hannover.
