“…The article revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between image guidance (CT or Fluoroscopy) and diagnostic yield. The site where the biopsy samples were performed significantly influenced the microbiological diagnostic yield: 64.8% when performing the procedure on disc or paravertebral soft tissue involved and 45.5% on bone end plates (p < 0.001) [70].…”

Spondylodiscitis is defined by infectious conditions involving the vertebral column. The incidence of the disease has constantly increased over the last decades. Imaging plays a key role in each phase of the disease. Indeed, radiological tools are fundamental in (i) the initial diagnostic recognition of spondylodiscitis, (ii) the differentiation against inflammatory, degenerative, or calcific etiologies, (iii) the disease staging, as well as (iv) to provide clues to orient towards the microorganisms involved. This latter aim can be achieved with a mini-invasive procedure (e.g., CT-guided biopsy) or can be non-invasively supposed by the analysis of the CT, positron emission tomography (PET) CT, or MRI features displayed. Hence, this comprehensive review aims to summarize all the multimodality imaging features of spondylodiscitis. This, with the goal of serving as a reference for Physicians (infectious disease specialists, spine surgeons, radiologists) involved in the care of these patients. Nonetheless, this review article may offer starting points for future research articles.
