Quantitative Analysis of Clinical Dynamic Contrast-enhanced MR Imaging for Evaluating Treatment Response in Human Breast Cancer
Abstract
PURPOSE: To develop a method that combines a fixed-T1, fuzzy c-means (FCM) technique with a reference region (RR) model (T1-FCM method) to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters without measuring the arterial input function or baseline T1, or T1(0), and to demonstrate its feasibility in the assessment of treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer by using data from dynamic contrast material-enhanced …
