Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being studied in musculoskeletal oncology imaging. AI has been applied to both primary and secondary bone tumors and assessed for various predictive tasks that include detection, segmentation, classification, and prognosis. Still, in the field of clinical research, further efforts are needed to improve AI reproducibility and reach an acceptable level of evidence in musculoskeletal oncology. This review describes the basic principles of the most common AI techniques, including machine learning, deep learning and radiomics. Then, recent developments and current results of AI in the field of musculoskeletal oncology are presented. Finally, limitations and future perspectives of AI in this field are discussed.Copyright © 2022 Société française de radiologie. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
