A bibliometric analysis of Cushing's disease and magnetic resonance imaging: history, research hotspots, and emerging trends.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cushing's disease, the most common cause of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, results from excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion by pituitary adenomas. It affects multiple organ systems and significantly impairs quality of life, posing life-threatening risks. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been the preferred imaging modality for the diagnosis of Cushing's disease, especially in detecting pituitary microadenomas. With the advance of MRI technology, its application has extended beyond improving diagnostic sensitivity to other research fields of Cushing's disease, such as brain structure alterations and neuropsychiatric outcomes. However, there is a lack of comprehensive quantitative analysis of the literature in this field. The aim of this study was to
