Background: Interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has been growing in neuroradiology, but there is limited knowledge on how this interest has manifested into research and the field’s trends, challenges, and future directions. Methods: The American Journal of Neuroradiology was queried for original research articles published since inception (Jan. 1, 1980) to Sept. 19, 2022 that contained any of the following key terms: “machine learning”, “artificial intelligence”, or “radiomics”. Articles were screened, categorized into Statistical Modelling (Type 1), AI/ML Development (Type 2), or End-user Application (Type 3) and then bibliometrically analyzed. Results: A total of 124 articles were identified with 85% being non-integration focused (Type 1 n = 41, Type 2 n = 65) and the remaining (n = 18) being Type 3. The total number of articles published grew two-fold in the last five years, with Type 2 articles mainly driving this growth. While most (66%) Type 2 articles were led by a radiologist with 55% possessing a postgraduate degree, a minority of Type 2 articles addressed bias (15%) and explainability (20%). Conclusions: The results of this study highlight areas for improvement but also strengths that stakeholders can consider when promoting the shift towards integrating practical AI/ML solutions in neuroradiology.
