[Abstract] Radiomics, which extracts and quantifies feature information from medical images that cannot be recognized by traditional image examination methods, has gradually become a research hot spot in the clinical implementation of precision medicine and personalized medicine. The clinical symptoms of spinal diseases are single, and traditional imaging methods are still challenging for accurate localization, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of some spinal diseases. The cross fusion of artificial intelligence and images has greatly improved the accuracy of disease diagnosis by front-line workers and realized the prediction of unknown data of diseases. At present, there is no systematic review of the application of imaging in the diagnosis of spinal diseases. Therefore, the present situation and progress of the application of radiomics in spinal diseases are emphatically summarized, and the challenges and future development direction of spinal radiography are proposed.
