BackgroundIn this study, we used CiteSpace and VOSviewer to create a bibliometric visualization of research papers relating to stroke and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between 2000 and 2022. To fully understand the trends and hotspots in MRI and stroke research and provide new perspectives for future studies.MethodsThe Web of Science Core Collection was selected as the source of data for this paper. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, publications were analyzed for authors, countries, institutions, journals, references, and keywords.ResultsWe found 1423 papers after searching and removing duplicates, which indicated an upward trend over the previous 23 years. Fiebach J.B. is the most published author (21 publications), Hacke W. is the most cited author (213 citations), and the United States (449 publications) and Harvard University (86 publications) are the most prolific nations and institutions. Stroke is the journal with the most co-citations (1275) and the most papers (171) published. The most representative reference was the 1995 article by Marler et al, which received 115 citations and had the top 3 co-occurring keywords: stroke, magnetic resonance imaging, and MRI. The article by Nogueria et al showed the strongest citation burst at the end of 2022 (strength = 17.32). High-frequency keywords in recent years are time, association, functional connectivity, thrombectomy, and rehabilitation.ConclusionThis study provides a scientific perspective on stroke and MRI research, provides valuable information for researchers to understand the current status of research, hotspots, and trends, and guides future research directions.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
