Abstract:: Abstract: Objective To analyze the research strength distribution, research hotspots and frontiers of quantitative computed tomography (CT) diagnosis of osteoporosis. Methods The research papers on the quantitative CT diagnosis of osteoporosis published in the core collection database of Web of Science from 1982 to 2018 were taken as the objects. With the use of visualization software Citespace, several maps were obtained, including the cooperation map of the research country and core authors, literature citation and clustering map, the co-occurrence of high-frequency keywords, and map of word frequency changes. Results In recent years, the research on the quantitative CT diagnosis of osteoporosis showed a trend of development, and the research strengths are mainly concentrated in United States, Canada, Germany, Japan, Belgium, Australia and other developed countries. The research academic community could be divided into 8 categories, including BONE DENSITY, TOMOGRAPHY X-RAY COMPUTED, OSTEOPOROSIS, and so on. The top 3 of the core research institutions were Department of Radiology, Department of Medicine, and Institute of Medical Physics. Conclusion The research on the quantitative CT the diagnosis of osteoporosis is increases rapidly in recent years, indicating that the application of quantitative CT in the diagnosis of osteoporosis draws more and more attention.
