Co-citation analysis of molecular imaging in neuropsychiatric disorders: integrating perspectives from radiology, neuroscience, and psychiatry

Background Molecular imaging plays a key role in advancing understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the conceptual structure of this interdisciplinary field remains poorly mapped from a bibliometric perspective. The objective of this study was to explore the intellectual structure and t...
