The Importance of Postprocessing and Data Analysis for Breast Diffusion Weighted Imaging The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer diagnosis and management is evolving as a supplemental…
Basic Concept of Diffusion-Weighted Whole Body Imaging With Background Body Signal Suppression (DWIBS) Since the 1990s, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has revolutionized the diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction, making it possible…
Intravoxel Incoherent Motion and Non-Gaussian Diffusion-Weighted Imaging: Introduction The role of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has expanded into many clinical applications, including differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions,…
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a promising approach for breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), both as a way to complement or to replace contrast-enhanced MRI. DWI measures diffusive motion, which is…
Background Personalized medicine is yielding increasingly precise treatment and prevention strategies for groups of individuals based on their genetic makeup, environment, and lifestyle, as enabled by approaches including genomics, transcriptomics,…
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a widely applied quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach to characterize tissue microstructure throughout the body. In addition to quantifying the amount of water diffusion…
Before the development of mammography, the detection of abnormalities in the breast was largely based on visual inspection and palpation. This has dramatically changed in the last half of the…

Preoperative, or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), in which systemic therapy is administered before surgery, is used to downstage primary breast cancers while reducing the risk of recurrence. NAC often results in…
The normal breast tissue undergoes marked alterations in size, shape, and function in response to the onset of puberty, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause. Both endogenous (early menarche, older age at…
