[Abstract] Osteoporosis, acute trauma and tumor infiltration are the common causes of vertebral fracture. The middle-aged and elderly people are the most prone to vertebral fractures. But at present, the clinical diagnosis of vertebral fracture is still insufficient, there is a certain rate of missed diagnosis. Therefore, early diagnosis, clear etiology and reasonable treatment of vertebral fractures are the top priority to reduce the pain of patients and improve the quality of life. As a new technique, radiomics has great potential and clinical value in diagnosing vertebral fracture, distinguishing the types of vertebral fracture, predicting the risk of vertebral fracture and refracture. In this article, we will review the current research status of radiology in the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral fracture, and discuss the limitations and future application value, in order to provide new ideas and new methods to promote the accurate diagnosis and treatment of vertebral fracture.
