  Figure 562-02-001.  Deep Learning System for Predicting ER Negative, -low, and -high Positive Breast Cancer Using MRI
Yi Dai, Zhenwei Shi
Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, Shenzhen, China
Impact: This non-invasive deep learning system enables preoperative, precise ER status classification, directly informing personalized therapy decisions. It empowers clinicians to identify elusive ER-low positive patients and opens new avenues for radiogenomics research, advancing image-guided precision oncology.
  Figure 562-02-002.  Voxel-wise Variability in Breast DCE-MRI: Monte Carlo Comparison of Patlak, ETM-FXL, and ETM-NXL Pharmacokinetic Models
Rachaita Podder, Sai Man Cheung, Kangwa Nkonde, Andrew Blamire, Jiabao He
Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Impact: Voxel-wise variability mapping informs the reliability of pharmacokinetic parameters in quantitative DCE-MRI. The lower variability observed in pharmacokinetic parameters from Patlak and ETM-FXL models supports the potential clinical utility as robust imaging biomarkers for precision treatment monitoring in breast cancer.
  Figure 562-02-003.  Intratumoral Heterogeneity of DCE-MRI for Predicting Pathological Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer
Wenjie Jiang, Chen Bai, Xueying Zhao, Xinwei Tang, Xingke Huang, Xiaoying Li, Xiang Zhang, jun shen
Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University,, Guangzhou, China
Impact: Integrating habitat radiomics and intratumoral heterogeneity from DCE-MRI pharmacokinetic maps enhances the accuracy of pathological complete response prediction after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer, supporting personalized treatment planning and advancing noninvasive precision oncology.
  Figure 562-02-004.  Integrating Global and Habitat-Based Radiomics from DCE-MRI for Improved Characterization of Breast Lesions
Kexin Chen, Ya Ren, Xuetong Tao, Meng Wang, Lin Li, Shuluan Chen, Jie Wen, wei cui, Zhanli Hu, Xin Liu, Dong Liang, Hairong Zheng, Qian Wan, Zhou Liu, Na Zhang
State Key Laboratory of Biomedical Imaging Science and System, Key Laboratory of Biomedical Imaging Science and System, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen, China
Impact: This novel approach provides an intuitive and interpretable framework that integrates global and habitat-based radiomics to visualize and quantify spatial and temporal hemodynamic heterogeneity, enhancing diagnostic performance and offering potential for broader clinical translation.
  Figure 562-02-005.  Integrating BI-RADS, Radiomics, and Deep Learning for MRI-Based HER2 Phenotype Differentiation
Thais Bezerra, Soraia Damião, Claudio Patrocínio, Adriana Bueno, Marina De Brot, Almir Bitencourt
University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil
Impact: This study compares conventional, radiomic, and deep learning models using breast MRI to differentiate HER2 expression levels in invasive breast cancer. It highlights MRI’s potential as a non-invasive surrogate for molecular profiling and personalized treatment planning.
  Figure 562-02-006.  Integrating DCE-MRI Multiparametric Maps and Digital Pathological Images to Predict Pathological Response in Breast Cancer
Huidong Wang, Siyao Du, Ruimeng Zhao, LINA ZHANG
the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China
Impact: Combining hemodynamic information from DCE-MRI with digital pathological data results in the optimal model. This model can effectively predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer at an early stage, which has clinical guidance.
  Figure 562-02-007.  MRI-based Habitat radiomics for risk stratification of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer: A multicenter study
Yuqin Peng, Zhiyao Liu, Xueying Zhao, miaomiao ding, Shuxin He, Xiang Zhang
Shenshan Medical Center, Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Shanwei, China
Impact: The model stratifies patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups: low-risk patients may be exempted from SLNB; intermediate-risk patients could omit SLND; and high-risk patients should undergo ALND directly. It can be used preoperatively to assess ALNM in breast cancer.
  Figure 562-02-008.  Prediction of Residual Axillary Metastasis Following NAT for Breast Cancer: Habitat Radiomics Analysis Based on breast MRI
Junjie Zhang
Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital/ Shanxi Hospital Affiliated to Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences/Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, China
Impact: The DCE-MRI-derived habitat model demonstrates great potential in distinguishing between axillary pCR and residual axillary lymph node metastasis, which is conducive to assisting clinicians in formulating individualized axillary management strategies.
  Figure 562-02-009.  Distinguishing benign and malignant masses of breast tumors in DCE-MRI using a spatial-temporal encoding model
Tianyi Zhang, Lin Li, Yuan Guo, Jianming Rong, Yuanhao Li, Ya Ren, Meng Wang, Shuluan Chen, Jie Wen, wei cui, Dehong Luo, Zhou Liu, Zhenxing Huang
Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen, China
Impact: We developed and clinically validated a novel Spatial-Temporal Encoding Methodology (STEM) for automated processing of DCE-MRI time-intensity curve data to achieve simultaneous differentiation of benign and malignant breast tumors while providing accurate tumor staging capabilities.
  Figure 562-02-010.  Evaluating Synthetic T2-Weighted Breast MRI: A Multi-Reader, Multicenter Study
Antonio Portaluri, Luyi Han, Jarek van Dijk, Xinglong Liang, Marialena Tsarouchi, Carla Carla Sitges, Miguel Braga, Noemi Schmidt, Maria Adele Marino, Tao Tan, Tianyu Zhang, Ritse Mann
the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Impact: By restoring T2 information, IMPORTANT-NET could expand access to multiparametric breast MRI without prolonged scan-time. This multicenter reader study demonstrates visual equivalence and no artifact penalty for generated T2 sequences, with real-versus-synthetic identification at chance level and consistent diagnostic acceptability.
  Figure 562-02-011.  Artificial Intelligence Detection of Breast Cancer on Abbreviated MRI
Zahra Aghdam, Xin Wang, Luuk Balkenende, Jonas Teuwen, Koen Eppenhof, Kevin Groot Lipman, Ritse Mann
Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands, Netherlands
Impact: The AI system showed acceptable discriminatory performance in detecting cancer on abbreviated breast MR examination, the findings emphasize the importance of further clinical validation to account for the risk of false positives and ensure safe integration into practice.
  Figure 562-02-012.  Prediction of lymphovascular invasion in invasive breast cancer using synthetic MRI-derived histogram parameters
