A new algorithm for automatic vascular mapping of DCE-MRI of the breast: Clinical application of a potential new biomarker
A validated algorithm quantifies breast vascularity through vascular maps (AVM). Breast DCE-MR exams are analyzed before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Responders and non-responders show difference in vascularity before and after NAC. AVMs may represent a reliable method to evaluate pathologic response after NAC.
