MRI features can help to confirm a diagnosis of progressive myelomalacia, but may not be accurate in dogs lacking characteristic clinical signs at the time of imaging
Cordle, K. J., Seiler, G. S., Barnes, D., & Olby, N. J. (2023, January 20). VETERINARY RADIOLOGY & ULTRASOUND, Vol. 1.

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.

Association between filum terminale internum length and pain in Cavalier King Charles spaniels with and without syringomyelia
JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE, 35(1), 363–371.
author keywords: Chiari-like malformation; conus medullaris; dural sac; morphometry; tethered cord
MeSH headings : Animals; Cauda Equina / diagnostic imaging; Dog Diseases; Dogs; Magnetic Resonance Imaging / veterinary; Pain / veterinary; Prospective Studies; Reproducibility of Results; Syringomyelia / diagnostic imaging; Syringomyelia / veterinary
TL;DR:
Painful CKCS without SM have decreased distance between the termination of the spinal cord and dural sac, suggesting a shorter FTIL, and more caudal spinal cord termination is associated with development of lumbar SM.
