Clare Rusbridge has a really interesting page up on her website now with some comparison images on how a dog can appear to have no malformation, where it actually does, and to have no syrinx, when it actually does, depending on how the technician positions the dog for the scan, and the quality of the machine and length of exposure:

Scroll down about halfway to get to where the images begin and the explanations. Very interesting to see the comparisons. There are more images, more comparisons and an explanation on CM and severity too, that I hadn't seen on the site before. In the downloads section there is a guide for vets/technicians on head positioning to try and get a consistent result.
For people who have had an MRI done and would like it interpreted by Clare Rusbridge, there's information on how to do this and what she needs. The cost is a very reasonable £35. A few people have wanted her to interpret their scans so this page handily has all the information to get this done, and the price.
