Abstract：Brucellosis is the world's widespread zoonotic infectious disease, Brucella can invade all organs and tissues of the body. The most frequent complication of brucellosis is osteoarticular involvement, and spinal joints is the most common affected sites. In recent years, with the increase of the incidence of brucellosis, the prevalence of brucellosis spondylitis increased year by year, influencing the life quality of patient severely, early and appropriate diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the prognosis of brucellosis spondylitis. Imaging diagnosis of brucellosis spondylitis mainly depends on X-ray, CT and magnetic resonance imaging . Especially CT three-dimensional imaging reconstruction observation of the small bone structure, and magnetic resonance imaging showed early bone changes and high soft tissue resolution, plays a key role in the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of brucellosis spondylitis.
