Abstract

Purpose

To examine heterogeneous breast cancer through intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) histogram analysis.

Materials and methods

This HIPAA-compliant, IRB-approved retrospective study included 62 patients (age 48.44 ± 11.14 years, 50 malignant lesions and 12 benign) who underwent contrast-enhanced 3 T breast MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and IVIM biomarkers of tissue diffusivity (D_t), perfusion fraction (f_p), and pseudo-diffusivity (D_p) were calculated using voxel-based analysis for the whole lesion volume. Histogram analysis was performed to quantify tumour heterogeneity. Comparisons were made using Mann–Whitney tests between benign/malignant status, histological subtype, and molecular prognostic factor status while Spearman’s rank correlation was used to characterize the association between imaging biomarkers and prognostic factor expression.

Results

The average values of the ADC and IVIM biomarkers, D_t and f_p, showed significant differences between benign and malignant lesions. Additional significant differences were found in the histogram parameters among tumour subtypes and molecular prognostic factor status. IVIM histogram metrics, particularly f_p and D_p, showed significant correlation with hormonal factor expression.

Conclusion

Advanced diffusion imaging biomarkers show relationships with molecular prognostic factors and breast cancer malignancy. This analysis reveals novel diagnostic metrics that may explain some of the observed variability in treatment response among breast cancer patients.

Key Points

• Novel IVIM biomarkers characterize heterogeneous breast cancer.

• Histogram analysis enables quantification of tumour heterogeneity.

• IVIM biomarkers show relationships with breast cancer malignancy and molecular prognostic factors.
