Abstract
BACKGROUND
Otorhinolaryngology diseases are well suited for artificial intelligence (AI)-based interpretation. The use of AI, particularly AI based on deep learning (DL), in the treatment of human diseases is becoming more and more popular. However, there are few bibliometric analyses that have systematically studied this field.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to visualize the research hot spots and trends of AI and DL in ENT diseases through bibliometric analysis to help researchers understand the future development of basic and clinical research.
METHODS
In all, 232 articles and reviews were retrieved from The Web of Science Core Collection. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, countries, institutions, authors, references, and keywords in the field were visualized and examined.
RESULTS
The majority of these papers came from 44 nations and 498 institutions, with China and the United States leading the way. Common diseases used by AI in ENT include otosclerosis, otitis media, nasal polyps, sinusitis, and so on. In the early years, research focused on the analysis of hearing and articulation disorders, and in recent years mainly on the diagnosis, localization, and grading of diseases.
CONCLUSIONS
The analysis shows the periodical hot spots and development direction of AI and DL application in ENT diseases from the time dimension. The diagnosis and prognosis of otolaryngology diseases and the analysis of otolaryngology endoscopic images have been the focus of current research and the development trend of future.
