Comparative analysis of the diagnostic value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging kinetic heterogeneity and apparent diffusion coefficient for grading invasive breast cancer

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of DCE-MRI kinetic heterogeneity and apparent diffusion coefficient in grading invasive breast cancer.
• Compared diagnostic accuracy of DCE-MRI kinetic heterogeneity and apparent diffusion coefficient.
• Utilized computer-aided analysis for whole-tumor assessment.
• Evaluated outcomes before surgical interventions.
• DCE-MRI kinetic heterogeneity significantly improved grading accuracy compared to traditional methods.
• The combination of kinetic heterogeneity and diffusion coefficients provided comprehensive insights into tumor characteristics.
• Non-invasive techniques allowed for better pre-surgical treatment planning and reduced overtreatment risks.
