Abstract: The diagnosis of lumbar osteochondrosis based on measurement of intervertebral distances on lumbar x-rays is reviewed. For more accurate diagnosis and automation, a set of methods of mathematical data analysis is proposed, allowing to separate healthy patients, diseased patients and borderline cases of the disease in a set of patient images and corresponding measurements of intervertebral distances.

Keywords: lumbar spine, diagnosis of osteochondrosis, multivariate data, cluster analysis, ascending neuron, experimental data processing.
