Breast DCE-MRI data from 29 patients at baseline and
after one cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were
analyzed using pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling and three
different arterial input functions (AIFs). Despite
considerable AIF-caused PK parameter variations (except
for the Tau_i parameter), several PK parameters after 1
cycle of therapy and their percent changes remained good
to excellent early predictors of pathologic response.
