Academic journals have published a large number of papers in the therapeutic nuclear medicine (NM) research field in the last 10 years. Despite this, a literature analysis has never before been made to point out the research interest in therapeutic radionuclides (RNs). For this reason, the present study aims specifically to analyze the research output on therapeutic radiometals from 2008 to 2018, with intent to quantify and identify global trends in scientific literature and emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of this research field. The data search targeted conventional (I, Y, Lu, Re, Re, Sm, Sr, Er) and emergent (Cu, Sc, Ra, Ho, Tb, Tb, Pb/Bi, Ac, Bi, At, Sn) RNs. Starting from this time frame, authors have analyzed and interpreted this scientific trend quantitatively first, and qualitatively after.
在过去的十年中，学术期刊发表了大量关于治疗核医学（NM）研究领域的论文。尽管如此，以前从未进行过文献分析来指出治疗性放射性核素（RNs）的研究兴趣。出于这个原因，本研究专门旨在分析 2008 年至 2018 年治疗性放射金属的研究成果，旨在量化和确定科学文献中的全球趋势，并强调该研究领域的跨学科性质。数据搜索针对常规（I、Y、Lu、Re、Re、Sm、Sr、Er）和新兴（Cu、Sc、Ra、Ho、Tb、Tm、Pb/Bi、Ac、Bi、At、Sn）RNs。从这个时间框架开始，作者首先对这一科学趋势进行了定量分析和解释，然后进行了定性分析。
