More evidence of upper cervical ligament injury as seen on MRI. This was a hot topic at the 2007 IWTC in Miami. When these injuries are grouped into low signal and high signal changes, the agreement between clinician and radiologist is high.

Krakenes has published a number of articles on alar, transverse, tectorial membrane, and posterior AO membrane injuries as detected on MRI. We've had great success getting the radiology community to identify these injuries using the new 3.0T MRI scanners (higher resolution).
