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.
