Abstrakt: Background: Recent research has demonstrated that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiotherapy (RT) has significantly streamlined the process for physicians to treat patients with tumors; however, bibliometric studies examining the correlation between AI and RT are not available. Providing a thorough overview of the knowledge structure and research hotspots between AI and RT was the main goal of the current study. Method: A search was conducted on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database for publications pertaining to AI and RT between 2003 and 2023. VOSviewers, CiteSpace, and the R program "bibliometrix" were used to do the bibliometric analysis. Results: The analysis comprised 615 publications from 64 countries, with USA and China leading the pack. Since 2017, there have been more and more publications about RT and AI every year. The research center that made the biggest contribution to this topic was Maastricht University. The most articles published journal in this field was Frontiers in Oncology, while Medical Physics received the greatest number of citations. Dekker Andre is the author with the greatest number of published articles, while Philippe Lambin was the most often co-cited author. In the newly identified research hotspots, "autocontouring algorithm", "deep learning", and "machine learning" stand out as the main terms. Conclusion: In fact, our bibliometric analysis offers insightful information on current research directions and advancements pertaining to the use of AI in RT. For academics looking to understand the connection between AI and RT, this study is a great resource because it highlights current research frontiers and hot trends. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
