36 breast cancer patients underwent research DCE-MRI before and after one cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. 3D tumor imaging texture features were extracted from parametric maps of quantitative pharmacokinetic (PK) and semi-quantitative DCE-MRI parameters, and correlated with pathologically measured post-therapy residual cancer burden (RCB). Texture features from quantitative PK parameters were found to be more useful than those from semi-quantitative metrics for early prediction of therapy response, while the features from the SSM PK parameters were superior to the SM counterparts for prediction of response.
