What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: A scientometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles on magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound

    The study says the Journal of Neurosurgery had the most top MRgFUS papers — which matches the claim. But it doesn’t say how many total citations Radiology and NEJM got, so we can’t confirm those numbers.
