Abstract:
With the aggravation of population aging in our country,the prevalence of osteoporosis(OP)has surged dramatically.Currently,the diagnosis of OP primarily relies on bone mineral density(BMD),and the precise measurement of BMD is crucial in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal surgical diseases.In recent years,computed tomography(CT)has gained widespread attention in clinical diagnosis and treatment due to its unique advantages.Vertebral CT values not only enhance the diagnostic rate of OP but also effectively predict the occurrence of postoperative complications such as adjacent vertebral fractures,fusion device subsidence,and pedicle screw loosening.This article summarizes the research progress of vertebral CT value in the field of spine surgery,and discusses its feasibility in guiding spinal surgery and its correlation with postoperative complications of spine.Additionally,it elaborates on the progress of combining CT with artificial intelligence(AI)to assist in disease diagnosis and treatment,aiming to better promote the clinical application of vertebral CT values.
