However, the study and interpretation of spine radiograph is receiving less attention and radiologists are increasingly unfamiliar with the typical findings in normal and pathologic conditions of the spine. The aim of this article is to review the radiologic indications of radiograph in different pathologic conditions that affect the spine, including congenital, traumatic, degenerative, inflammatory, infectious and tumour disorders, as well as their main radiographic manifestations.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Spineback painosteoporotic fractureradiographyspinal curvaturespinal disorderThe role of radiography in the study of spinal disorders.research article33269230open access10.21037/qims-20-1014PMC7596402https://qims.amegroups.com/article/viewFile/52491/pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7596402/pdf
