Texture Analysis of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI in Evaluating Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) of Mass-Like Breast Cancer after Neoadjuvant Therapy

<div>A 62-year-old female with biopsy diagnosed invasive ductal cancer (grade II) in the right breast. MRI showed cancer shrinking from pre- (a) to post-NAT (b). ROIs were drawn on subtracted images (c). It was defined as non-iCR by radiologists. Formula with TA features classified it as iCR (<i>Y</i> &lt; 0). Operative pathology revealed scattered fibrosis and lymph cell infiltration in accordance with post-NAT changes. No cancer cells were found (d; as shown by HE staining with a 100x magnification).</div>
