Synopsis
Functional imaging is advantageous in monitoring neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) since changes in tumor physiology manifest earlier than actual tumor shrinkage. We leveraged a custom breast coil for multimodal T1, DWI, MRE, and near-infrared optical imaging to evaluate the response of breast tumors to NACT. In this case study of a patient who achieved pathologic complete response, concordant changes in tumor size, ADC, stiffness and total hemoglobin concentration have been observed. This multiparametric approach could help us gain a comprehensive understanding of the multitude of simultaneous physiological changes in tumors related to microenvironment, angiogenesis, and metabolism as a result of NACT.
