Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) combined with Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) are meaningful MRI techniques applied to breast cancer. This study uses DCE-derived parameters (voiume translocation constant, Ktrans and rate constant, Kep) and IVIM-derived parameters (diffusion coefficient, D and perfusion fraction, f) to perform correlation analysis with prognosis of breast cancer indexes (ER, PR, her-2, Ki-67). The results show that IVIM and DCE-MRI can distinguish benign and malignant breast lesions. Therefore, there are correlation between Ktrans, Kep, D and prognostic factors of breast cancer. Our research may provide more important clinical evidence for the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer.
