Simultaneously acquired diffusion weighted imaging and
18-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)-PET are employed to explore
the relationship between glucose avidity, diffusion, and
perfusion in breast cancer. Intravoxel incoherent motion
metrics are calculated and combined with correlated FDG-PET
standard uptake values (SUV) for all voxels in 16
histopathologically proven breast cancer lesions.
Two-dimensional histograms and Pearsons correlations
are used to define three lesion types. Each lesions
voxels are separated into three groups according to
their SUV, diffusion, and perfusion fraction. The
results yield insight into the heterogeneity of the
tumor microenvironment and show significant correlations
with estrogen receptor expression and a cellular
proliferation marker (Ki-67).
