The aim of this study is to review and discuss the literature on the utilization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in investigating the structure and feasible function of the myodural bridge complex (MDBC) with relevant muscles, which will be useful to understand the function of the MDB. The myodural bridge (MDB) is a soft tissue connective bridge that provides a fascial continuity between the musculature/ligament and cervical spinal dura mater (SDM) in the suboccipital areas. All of these involved structures are referred to as the MDBC. It would transfer tensile forces effectively from involved suboccipital muscles/ligament to SDM during head movement. Despite present achievements, its anatomic and functional role is still unclear. MRI enables not only in vivo visualization of ligaments, musculature and spinal dura with conventional T1W, T2W and PDW imaging, but also functional evaluation of MDBC with relevant muscles, such as muscles’ fatty infiltration, cross-sectional area changes and injuries. Though some functional MRI techniques have not been used for the MDBC with relevant muscles now, these techniques have great potential to better understand function of MDBC including its suspected clinical role. MRI is likely the most powerful tool to study MDBC and relevant muscles with only limited exploration so far.
