Can artificial intelligence in spine imaging affect current practice? Practical developments and their clinical status.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As artificial intelligence (AI) increases its footprint in spine imaging, gauging the clinical relevance of new developments poses an increasingly difficult challenge, especially given the majority of developments reflect experimental or early work. With this summary of available AI tools, focusing on those in clinical use, the benefits of AI in spine imaging are explained for radiologists and surgeons to understand the current state of and potentially the decision to adopt AI in clinical practice.

Methods

Through a narrative review of publications relating to "artificial intelligence" and "spine imaging" in the PubMed database, this article provides an update on AI applications in spine imaging being utilized in current clinical practice.
