Excerpt
Change in tumour volume may be a relatively late manifestation of chemotherapy response in patients with inoperable breast cancer. Recent studies suggest that quantifying water apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), microvessel permeability (Ktrans) or water to fat signal ratio (WFR), using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or spectroscopy, may provide an early indication of ultimate treatment response. …
