[Abstract] Artificial intelligence mainly refers to machine learning, and deep learning is a specific type of mechine learning. The technologies in the field of artificial intelligence, especially the deep learning methods, have been widely used in medical image and big data processing, including image reconstruction, image processing, image analysis and model construction. By using the related methods of artificial intelligence, we can achieve the aim of location and segmentation of spinal structure, and the comprehensive analysis of spinal diseases, such as the diagnosis and differential diagnosis, clinical decision support and prognosis prediction, which provides the basis for the selection of the most reasonable treatment of spinal diseases.
