- The study develops a machine learning model combining deep learning and radiomics features to automatically classify lumbar spine disc degeneration using MRI.
- Using multi-parametric MRI from 218 patients, the model achieved high performance, especially for binary classification (low vs. high grade), with AUROC ≥ 0.93.
- Ablation analysis revealed that radiomic features provided the primary predictive signal, with deep learning features adding no significant discriminative value.
