description Abstract Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology is a rapidly evolving field. In breast imaging, AI has already been applied in a real-world setting and multiple studies have been conducted in the area. The aim of this analysis is to identify the most influential publications on the topic of artificial intelligence in breast imaging. Methods A retrospective bibliometric analysis was conducted on artificial intelligence in breast radiology using the Web of Science database. The search strategy involved searching for the keywords ‘breast radiology’ or ‘breast imaging’ and the various keywords associated with AI such as ‘deep learning’, ‘machine learning,’ and ‘neural networks’. Results From the top 100 list, the number of citations per article ranged from 30 to 346 (average 85). The highest cited article titled ‘Artificial Neural Networks In Mammography—Application To Decision-Making In The Diagnosis Of Breast-Cancer’ was published in Radiology in 1993. Eighty-three of the articles were published in the last 10 years. The journal with the greatest number of articles was Radiology (n = 22). The most common country of origin was the United States (n = 51). Commonly occurring topics published were the use of deep learning models for breast cancer detection in mammography or ultrasound, radiomics in breast cancer, and the use of AI for breast cancer risk prediction. Conclusion This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the top 100 most-cited papers on the subject of artificial intelligence in breast radiology and discusses the current most influential papers in the field. Clinical relevance statement This article provides a concise summary of the top 100 most-cited articles in the field of artificial intelligence in breast radiology. It discusses the most impactful articles and explores the recent trends and topics of research in the field. Key Points Multiple studies have been conducted on AI in breast radiology. The most-cited article was published in the journal Radiology in 1993. This study highlights influential articles and topics on AI in breast radiology. Graphical Abstract
