| Popis: | To determine the relationship between the maximum slope (MS) of ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and prognostic factors of breast cancer. One hundred thirteen patients with 118 breast cancers were included in this study. The ultrafast DCE sequence was acquired using a higher parallel imaging factor. Its spatial resolution was 0.9 × 0.9 × 2.5 mm and its temporal resolution was 8.3 s/phase. Each lesion was automatically segmented, and the ROI of highest enhancement in the lesion was identified. In this ROI, the MS was calculated. The MS of each lesion was compared with various prognostic factors of breast cancer. The MS of invasive cancer (median: 9.81%/sec) was significantly higher than that of ductal carcinoma in situ (median: 7.26%/sec) (p = 0.001). In the ROC analysis, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.7295. The MS of invasive cancer with axillary lymph node (LN) metastasis (median: 11.97%/sec) was significantly higher than that without axillary LN metastasis (median: 9.425%/sec) (p = 0.0024). In the ROC analysis, the AUC was 0.7177. In addition, the MS became significantly higher as the level of the proliferation marker ki-67 increased (correlation coefficient: 0.3317) (p = 0.0009). MS of ultrafast DCE-MRI is useful for predicting the prognostic factors of breast cancer. Higher maximum slope (MS) is significantly associated with an invasive breast cancer component. Higher MS is significantly associated with an axillary lymph node metastasis. MS becomes significantly higher with increasing ki-67 (a proliferation marker). Ultrafast MRI is useful for predicting the prognostic factors of breast cancer. |
