Report summary

University of California, Irvine Department of Radiological Sciences in 2015-2017 reads as a 12-PI network with 3 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (64% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging as the leading subfield (23% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels), and MRI in cancer diagnosis as the leading topic (11% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is of concern for a 12-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Jogeshwar Mukherjee (11.5 weighted works; Adipose Tissue and Metabolism, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Study); Gültekin Gülşen (10.1 weighted works; Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy Techniques, Photoacoustic and Ultrasonic Imaging). The strongest pairings are Min‐Ying Su and Jeon‐Hor Chen (11 shared works, weight 5.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 10.6, around Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, led by Gültekin Gülşen, Jeon‐Hor Chen, Min‐Ying Su.
