Abstract

PURPOSE: The field of artificial intelligence is ever growing and the applications of machine learning in spine care are continuously advancing. Given the advent of the intelligence-based spine care model, understanding the evolution of computation as it applies to diagnosis, treatment, and adverse event prediction is of great importance. Therefore, the current review sought to synthesize findings from the literature at the interface of artificial intelligence and spine research.
