[Abstract] The incidence and diagnostic rate of spinal infection are increasing year by year, but because of the occult onset and non-specificity manifestation, there is always a long delay period before clinical diagnosis, which leads to the high mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the diagnosis of spinal infection. The purpose of this paper is to improve the understanding and differential diagnosis of MRI features by introducing the clinical pathophysiological process of spinal infection, in order to achieve early diagnosis and improve long-term outcomes and prevent permanent neurologic deficits.
