Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With the development of medical imaging equipment and computer technology, three-dimensional medical image processing technology and 3D visualization technologies are widely used in clinical field. At present, the quantitative diagnosis, surgical simulation and surgical prediction, provide a strong support for medical diagnosis and treatment.
OBJECTIVE: To multivariately analyze the literature on the digital design used in spinal disease through Science Citation Index (SCI ) database and its analysis tool.
DESIGN: Bibliometric analysis.
DATA RETRIEVAL: A retrieval was performed for the literature of the digital design used in spinal disease, including three-dimensional reconstruction, three-dimensional measurement, finite element model, spinal disease, spine, lumbar vertebrae during 2001-01 and 2010-12 in SCI database. The retrieval results were analyzed, and the trends were described in words and graphics.
SELECTIVE CRITERIA: Articles on the digital design used in spinal disease including the following types: (1)Peer-reviewed original paper; (2)Proceedings paper; (3)Reviews; (4)Conference abstrcts; (5)Editorial materials; (6)Letters. Exclusive criteria were included (1)Articles unrelated to the study of the digital design used in spinal disease. (2)Articles published before 2001. (3)Articles which were not published on journals.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The literatures were analyzed by publication year, national distribution, institutional information, type of literature, journal distribution, discipline distribution, fund agents, citation frequency and authors.
RESULTS: A total of 598 literatures on the digital design used in spinal disease were retrieved in SCI database, in which most of papers were published as original articles. Seven articles were identified as classic literature. The overall number of literature had an upward trend from 2001 to 2010. Spine published most papers in this field (n=81, 13.55%).
CONCLUSION: This paper provides a valuable reference for researchers to understand the overview and present situation of this field in order to set further research.
