The study evaluated the accuracy to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced (UF-DCE) MRI. The sensitivity to predict pCR was higher on UF-DCE MRI compared with conventional dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. The difference in image and pathological sizes on UF-DCE MRI was smaller than on conventional DCE MRI. UF-DCE MRI potentially assesses post-NAC status in breast cancer patients accurately in a shorter acquisition time.
