Can 3.0 Tesla diffusion tensor Imaging parameters be prognostic indicators in breast cancer?
Clinical Imaging Apr 11, 2018
Ozal ST, et al. - The correlation between diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters such as fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), relative anisotropy (RA), and volume ratio (VR) values and prognostic factors of invasive breast cancer was inspected by the authors among patients with pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancers. During this study, subjects underwent pre-operative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3.0 Tesla. Statistically, considerably low MD values were illustrated in patients with lymph node metastasis and/or lymphovascular invasion and/or histologic grade 3 tumors. Data shed light on the connection between DTI parameters of malignant masses in breast cancer patients with tumor size, lymph node status, histologic grade, lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67, CERB B2, estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor.
