Letter to the Editor concerning “External validation of SpineNetv2 deep learning system for automated lumbar spine MRI analysis: A multi-pathology diagnostic agreement study” by Wu et al. (Eur spine J [2025]; https://doi.org/10.1007/s00586-025-09543-z)

I read with great interest the article by Wu et al. [1], which externally validated the deep learning system, SpineNetv2, for an automated lumbar spine MRI analysis of various pathologies. I commend the authors on their careful analysis and excellent diagnostic agreement with expert interpretations. The study is a significant advance in the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in musculoskeletal imaging. However, there are a few issues that warrant further consideration in placing this te…
