Abstract:
Objective To explore the publication trends and future directions in the field of value of MRI for diagnosing uterine fibroids using bibliometrics.Methods Literature related to diagnostic value of MRI for uterine fibroids in CNKI,Wanfang Med Online,SinoMed and WOSCC databases from 2006 to 2024 were retrieved,and 460 Chinese and 166 English articles were included.A bibliometric analysis was conducted to examine annual publication volume,country/region collaborations,journal distribution,core authors,highly cited literatures and keywords related to MRI for diagnosing uterine fibroids.Results From 2006 to 2024,the number of publications showed a fluctuating upward trend,with Chinese literature dominating.Authors from United States led research in this field and had the closest collaboration with those from France.Chinese and English articles were published in 221 and 81 journals,respectively,with several journals demonstrating significant influence.Highly cited articles mainly focused on differential diagnosis in early publications.Keywords analysis indicated that Chinese studies emphasized diagnosis and pathological typing,while English studies were more concerned with technical comparisons and accuracy assessment.Since 2020,research focus shifted toward image analysis technology and MRI-guided therapy.Conclusion The research on value of MRI for diagnosing uterine fibroids has been continuously developing.In the future,application of new technologies could be further explored,and multi-center cooperation and clinical transformation should be strengthened to promote the development and innovation in this field.
