Recently, there has been increased interest in quantitative MR parameters for assessing tumor proliferation. In this study, we proposed the use of whole-tumor histogram texture features using the model-based T2 mapping method GRAPPATINI to differentiate the positive and negative Ki-67 status of breast cancer. Classification performed between Ki-67-positive and Ki-67-negative groups resulted in an area under the ROC curve of 0.808.
