Evaluation of Early Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy or Breast Cancer : Usefulness of Texture Analysis of DCE and Histogram Analysis of DW-MRI [Presidential Award Proceedings]

Abstract

　We analyzed the efficacy of time-intensity curve and texture analysis of dynamic contrast enhanced study (DCE), and also mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and histogram analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging in a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) non-effective group and an NAC effective group of patients with breast cancer. Based on texture and histogram analysis, it was speculated that early response was predictable.
