TL;DR: MRI features can support the diagnosis in dogs with clinical evidence of progressive myelomalacia, and absence of these features supports absence of PMM at time of imaging, however, their absence does not reliably differentiate dogs with imminent progressive myELomalacia from other dogs with severe deficits following intervertebral disc extrusion.
