Current and Future Trends in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessments of the Response of Breast Tumors to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Figure 2

ADC values are reduced in breast cancer tumors compared to the unaffected tissue. Shown here is a postcontrast T1-weighted image (a) for reference and an overlay of the corresponding ADC map (b). The tumor, located above and between the biopsy clips (white arrows), exhibits increased signal in the T1-weighted image and decreased ADC values, compared to the surrounding tissue.
