In our study we evaluate the potential of a 4th order
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) model for breast cancer
differentiation. Our results reveal how this model
outperforms standard DTI for differentiation of
malignant and benign lesions, and healthy fibroglandular
tissue. In particular, fractional anisotropy derived
from this model is found to increase the potential of
diffusivity markers to differentiate malignant and
benign lesions.
