Spatio–temporal Denoising of Ultrafast DCE-MRI Using Marchenko-Pastur principal component analysis
Impact: Ultrafast breast DCE-MRI is prone to noise due
to short acquisition times. MP-PCA spatiotemporal denoising improves both
spatial and temporal image quality, preserves anatomical and kinetic
information, and may enable more accurate and reliable lesion characterization
and diagnostic interpretation

Deregulation of lipid composition in the breast of BRCA1/2 genetic mutation carriers using chemical shift-encoded imaging
Impact: Deregulation of lipid composition in the breast of BRCA1/2 genetic mutation carriers resembles the diseased group, serving as potential precursor of breast cancer. CSEI yields highly repeatable quantitative maps of lipid composition critical for effective early cancer detection and surveillance.

Can Advanced Diffusion Models of FROC and CTRW Distinguish Luminal Subtype from Non-luminal Breast Cancer?
Impact: This study highlights the clinical value of fractional order calculus (FROC) and continuous time random walk (CTRW) models for preoperative breast cancer subtyping. A key advantage is their ability to extract richer information from routine multi-b-value DWI without extra scanning.

Ultrafast DCE-MRI in Breast Cancer: Catching Washout Earlier Than Conventional Timing
Impact: Ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI captures rapid signal changes immediately after contrast injection. While previous studies focused on early enhancement, this study investigated breast cancers exhibiting early washout patterns during the ultrafast phase to explore their characteristics.

Beyond the trade-off: combined ultrafast and conventional 4D-DCE for breast MRI
Impact: A novel 4D stack-of-stars DCE-MRI sequence enables high-quality
breast imaging with improved BI-RADS agreement and diagnostic confidence,
particularly when ultrafast and conventional DCE approaches are combined within
a single protocol.

Dynamic Contrast Enhanced-MRF Improves Detection of Induced Vascular Perfusion Reduction in a Mouse Breast Cancer Model
Impact: DCE-MRF’s superior precision enables reliable assessments of tumor perfusion
in response to therapy, overcoming the fundamental limitation of conventional perfusion
assessments from DCE-MRI. This study establishes DCE-MRF for both preclinical
treatment monitoring and future clinical studies in cancer patients.

Glucosamine-CEST MRI in Breast Cancer: Correlation with BI-RADS Grade
Impact: Glucosamine-CEST
MRI provides a novel, radiation-free approach for metabolic imaging of breast
cancer. Its strong correlation with BI-RADS grade highlights its potential as a
clinically translatable, noninvasive biomarker for differentiating malignant
from benign lesions and improving diagnostic specificity.

Discrimination of pCR in Breast Cancer Patients without Visible Enhancing Lesions: A Semiquantitative DCE-MRI Approach
Impact: This study highlights the potential of post-NAC
semiquantitative DCE-MRI as a noninvasive tool to identify patients who achieve
pCR without visible enhancing lesions, providing an imaging basis for future
image-guided de-escalation of surgery in breast cancer.

Predictive value of functional tumor volume and ctDNA for breast cancer response to neoadjuvant therapy: a multi-center study
Impact: The findings of this study will motivate us to optimize the strategy of combining FTV and ctDNA in the context of evolving tumor subtype classifications and histopathologic endpoints that reflect the extent of residual cancer burden at surgery.

Analysis of Quantitative T1 and T2 Maps from Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting in Breast Cancer
Impact: Our
results highlight the potential of MRF-derived T1/T2
mapping for accurately identifying malignant breast lesions and provides a
reference for future large-scale studies to objectively detect and characterize
breast cancers.

Differentiating Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions Using Microstructural Parameters from td-dMRI: A Prospective Study
Impact: td-dMRI
provides histology-related biomarkers that markedly improve benign–malignant
differentiation, reducing unnecessary biopsies and supporting precision breast
imaging.

Improved Diagnosis of Breast Lesions Presenting as Architectural Distortion on DBT by Integrating Ultrasound and MRI Features
Impact: Integrated ultrasound and MRI features enhance the diagnosis of breast lesions presenting as architectural distortion on DBT via machine - learning models, which is crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy.

Restricted Spectrum Imaging for Automating Tumor Delineation on Serial DWI in Evaluating Breast Cancer Treatment Response
Impact: RSI-based semi-automated
segmentation streamlines tumor delineation in breast cancer DWI, reducing
manual effort while preserving ADC accuracy. ADC metrics derived from RSI masks
demonstrate comparable predictive power for pCR, offering an efficient
alternative to manual segmentation, especially for monitoring treatment.
