Background: In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the use of Artificial Intelli-
gence (AI) in the field of health and medicine. This trend has captured the attention of researchers
worldwide. The objective of this article is to explore the current state of research on AI-based
medical sciences in Iran.
Methods: This scientometric study on scientific publications related to AI-based medical sciences
in Iran were carried out through the review in Pubmed till November 2, 2022. In this regard, the
number of articles, and international collaboration, and the frequently used terms were assessed
and mapped by Bibliometrix R package.

Results: 692 documents about AI-based medical sciences by Iran indexed in Pubmed have in-
creasing trend steadily. The majority of documents was original and review articles. The most
collaborative country was USA, Canada and China. Thematic map analysis showed, theme such
as “Algorithms”, ‘’Humans’ and “computational\ biology/methods”, are well developed and ca-
pable of structuring the research field. Themes such as “Artificial intelligence” and “environ-
mental monitoring” are the basics and are very important for the field’s development. Themes
such as “molecular models” and “clinical competence” have developed internal bonds but still of
marginal contribution to the development. The themes, “Social Media” and “water” appears to
be emerging.
Conclusion: The scientific publication of AI-based medical sciences in Iran are growing and
progressing, and this area include wide research areas. The results of this study can be useful for
research policy makers and researchers in order to determine the priorities and research decisions.
