The diffusion MRI signature index is highly correlated with immunohistochemical status and molecular subtype of invasive breast carcinoma
説明
To evaluate the relationship of the signature index (S-index), an advanced diffusion MRI marker, and the immunohistochemical (IHC) status, proliferation rate, and molecular subtype of invasive breast cancers.A retrospective study of patients with invasive carcinoma was conducted between 2017 and 2021. All patients underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and DWI using a 3-T system. For DWI, three b values (0, 200, and 1500 s/mmThe study included 153 patients (mean age, 60 ± 13 years) with 160 invasive carcinomas. S-index values were significantly higher in estrogen receptor-positive (mean, p = .005; 85The DWI S-index showed significantly higher values in invasive carcinomas with immunohistochemical status associated with good prognosis, suggesting its usefulness as a noninvasive imaging biomarker to estimate IHC status and orient treatment.• The signature index, an advanced diffusion MRI marker, showed good discrimination of immunohistochemical status in invasive breast carcinomas. • The signature index has the potential to differentiate noninvasively invasive breast carcinoma subtypes and appears as an imaging biomarker of prognostic factors and molecular phenotypes.
