Research Abstract

We assessed the usefulness of APT imaging to predict the biological status of breast cancers. The triple-negative (TN) cancers showed significantly higher APT signal intensity (SI) than the luminal type cancers and HER2 cancers. APT SI had weakly positive correlation with the Ki-67 labeling index. The mean APT SIs were significantly higher for high-Ki-67 (>30%) than low-Ki-67 (≦30%) cancers. There was no significant difference in the APT SIs among nuclear grades. These results were presented at European Congress of Radiology 2022 and a paper was published in Clinical Imaging.
