Sumario:Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive method widely used to evaluate abnormal tissues, especially in the brain. While many studies have examined brain tumor classification using MRI, a comprehensive scientometric analysis remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to investigate brain tumor classification based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), using scientometric approaches, from 2015 to 2024. Methods: A total of 348 peer-reviewed articles were extracted from the Scopus database. Tools such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed to analyze key metrics, including citation frequency, author collaboration, and publication trends. Results: The analysis revealed top authors, top-cited journals, and international collaborations. Co-occurrence networks identified the top research topics and bibliometric coupling revealed knowledge advancements in the domain. Conclusion: Deep learning methods are increasingly used in brain tumor classification research. This study outlines the current trends, uncovers research gaps, and suggests future directions for researchers in the domain of MRI-based brain tumor classification.
