Abstract：
Radiation therapy plays an important role in tumor treatment. The development of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) technology provides a strong guarantee for precise radiation therapy of tumors. However, bibliometric studies on IGRT research have rarely been reported. This study uses literature collected from the Web of Science during 1987 to 2021 as a sample and uses the bibliometric method to reveal the current research status, hotspots, and development trends in IGRT. Based on 6407 papers published from the Web of Science during 1987 to 2021, we utilized Microsoft Excel 2007 and cite space software to perform statistical analysis and visualization of IGRT. A total of 6407 articles were included, this area of IGRT has gone through 4 stages: budding period, growth period, outbreak period, and stationary period. The research category is mainly distributed in Radiology Nuclear Medicine Medical Imaging, which intersects with the research categories of Materials, Physics, and Mathematics. Yin FF, Tanderup K, and Sonke JJ are highly productive scholars who are active in IGRT research, while Jaffray DA, van Herk M and Guckenberger M are authors with high impact in this field. The team of scholars has close cooperation within the team and weak cooperation among teams. The League of European Research Universities, University of Texas System, University of Toronto, and Princess Margaret Cancer are the main research institutions in this field. The United States has the most research literature, followed by China and Germany. Six thousand four hundred seven articles are distributed in 712 journals, and the top 3 journals are Med Phys, Int J Radiat Oncol, and Radiather Oncol. Precise registration, intelligence, magnetic resonance guidance, and deep learning are current research hotspots. These results demonstrate that the research in this field is relatively mature and fruitful in the past 35 years, providing a solid theoretical basis and practical experience for precision radiotherapy.
摘要：
放射治疗在肿瘤治疗中起着重要的作用。图像引导放射治疗(IGRT)技术的发展为肿瘤的精确放射治疗提供了有力保障。然而,关于IGRT研究的文献计量学研究很少报道。本研究以1987年至2021年从WebofScience收集的文献为样本，采用文献计量学方法揭示研究现状，热点,以及IGRT的发展趋势。基于1987年至2021年在WebofScience上发表的6407篇论文，我们利用MicrosoftExcel2007并引用太空软件对IGRT进行统计分析和可视化。共收录6407篇文章,IGRT的这一领域经历了4个阶段:萌芽期，生长期,爆发期,和静止期。研究范畴主要分布在放射学核医学医学影像,与材料的研究类别交叉，物理,和数学。YinFF,TanderupK,和SonkeJJ是活跃于IGRT研究的高效学者，而JaffrayDA,vanHerkM和GuckenbergerM是在该领域具有重要影响力的作者。学者团队内部合作紧密，团队之间合作薄弱。欧洲研究型大学联盟,德克萨斯大学系统，多伦多大学,和玛格丽特公主癌症是该领域的主要研究机构。美国有最多的研究文献，其次是中国和德国。六千四百七十篇文章分布在712种期刊上，排名前三的期刊是医学杂志，IntJRadiatOncol,和RadiatherOncol.精确登记,情报,磁共振引导,深度学习是当前的研究热点。这些结果表明，在过去的35年中，该领域的研究相对成熟和丰硕。为精准放射治疗提供了坚实的理论基础和实践经验。
