Revolutionizing vascular imaging: trends and future directions of 4D flow MRI based on a 20-year bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI) is a promising new technology with potential clinical value in hemodynamic quantification. Although an increasing number of articles on 4D flow MRI have been published over the past decades, few studies have statistically analyzed these published articles. In this study, we aimed to perform a systematic and comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 4D flow MRI to explore the current hotspots and potential future directions.

Methods

The Web of Science Core Collection searched for literature on 4D flow MRI between 2003 and 2022. CiteSpace was utilized to analyze the literature data, including co-citation, cooperative network, cluster, and burst keyword analysis.
