Pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the advantage of nonionizing radiation and multiparameter imaging of structure and function, facilitating its clinical use in a variety of pulmonary diseases. This study aimed to identify the research trends and emerging topics in pulmonary MRI by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the field over the past decade.
A search of the Web of Science Core Collection database was conducted with the words "lung" and "MRI" for literature published from 2014 to 2023. The data were further analyzed with R and CiteSpace software in terms of annual publications and citations, collaborative networks (countries, institutions, and authors), source's local impact, keyword clustering, and burst analysis.
A total of 1,839 publications related to pulmonary MRI have been published over the last decade, with a relatively slow growth trend. The top three journals in terms of total publications and citations were , , and . The most productive country was the United States, and the countries with the strongest collaborative links were the United States and the United Kingdom. The most productive institutions and authors were Ruprecht Karls University Heidelberg (articles, n=309) and Wild JM (articles, n=86), respectively. Keyword cluster analysis identified five clusters: "lung cancer", "magnetic resonance imaging", "lung MRI", "cystic fibrosis", and "congenital diaphragmatic hernia". Keyword burst analysis showed that the keywords with the highest burst intensity in the first 5 years and the last 5 years were "mice" and "standardization", respectively.
Over the past decade, research trends in pulmonary MRI have focused on lung cancer and cystic fibrosis as the dominant clinical diseases. Research has been centered on standardizing pulmonary MRI to promote its clinical application.
肺部磁共振成像（MRI）具有非电离辐射以及对结构和功能进行多参数成像的优势，这有利于其在多种肺部疾病中的临床应用。本研究旨在通过对过去十年该领域进行全面的文献计量分析，确定肺部MRI的研究趋势和新兴主题。
在科学网核心合集数据库中搜索2014年至2023年发表的包含“肺”和“MRI”的文献。使用R和CiteSpace软件进一步分析数据，内容涉及年度出版物和引用情况、合作网络（国家、机构和作者）、来源的本地影响力、关键词聚类和突发分析。
在过去十年中，共发表了1839篇与肺部MRI相关的出版物，增长趋势相对缓慢。在总出版物数量和引用次数方面排名前三的期刊分别是 、 和 。产出最多的国家是美国，合作联系最紧密的国家是美国和英国。产出最多的机构和作者分别是海德堡鲁普雷希特·卡尔斯大学（文章数量，n = 309）和怀尔德·JM（文章数量，n = 86）。关键词聚类分析确定了五个聚类：“肺癌”、“磁共振成像”、“肺部MRI”、“囊性纤维化”和“先天性膈疝”。关键词突发分析表明，前5年和后5年突发强度最高的关键词分别是“小鼠”和“标准化”。
在过去十年中，肺部MRI的研究趋势集中在肺癌和囊性纤维化这两种主要临床疾病上。研究一直围绕肺部MRI的标准化展开，以促进其临床应用。
