A quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging method has been developed to assess treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer by using standard clinical dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging data without measuring either arterial input function or baseline T1.
Results of the simulation study demonstrate that the T1-FCM method appears to be relatively insensitive to noisy dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging data. This method could prove useful in the evaluation of breast cancer therapy
