  Figure 460-03-001.  Habitat-Focused Modeling in DCE-MRI: Interpretable Breast Lesion Classification in Two Centers
Yang Zhang, Jie Liu, Zhiyan Jin, Jiaheng Huang, 宁 周, Yin Zheng, Jiejie Zhou, Min-Ying Su
Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Hangzhou, China
Impact: Interative nested habitat analysis for breast DCE-MRI improves benign–malignant classification beyond whole-tumor models, while delivering spatial risk maps and physiology-aligned perfusion summaries. Iterative refinement with early stopping limits overfitting, generalizes across cohorts, and supports reader studies and clinical decision-support integration.

A C Camargo Cancer Center, Sao Paolo, Brazil
Impact: This study reinforce the role of breast MRI not only in detection and staging, but also as a complementary tool for risk stratification and therapeutic guidance in biologically aggressive subtypes of breast cancer, especially triple-negative tumors.

Xinyi Luo, Lei Wu, Yilan Ji, Fan Liu, Li Chen, Haihua Bao, Hua Guo, Diwei Shi
Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
Impact: Radiomics can indeed improve the diagnostic efficacy of emerging MR cytometry. IMPULSED-derived microstructural parameters and time-dependent ADC measurements provide complementary information, combining both sets of metrics facilitates clinical decision-making.
  Figure 460-03-004.  Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Pathological Characteristics in Predicting PD-L1 Level in Patients with Breast Cancer
Yiwen Wang, Weiwei Wang, Xiuzheng Yue, Zhiyuan He, Zhanguo Sun
Impact: This non-invasive model could serve as an alternative to biopsy for assessing PD-L1 status across the entire tumor. It may improve patient selection for immunotherapy, potentially enhancing treatment efficacy and progression-free survival in breast cancer.

Mingyue Yang, Siyao Du, Ruimeng Zhao, Thorsten Feiweier, Yueluan Jiang, LINA ZHANG
the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China
Impact: Enables noninvasive breast cancer NAC response prediction via td-dMRI, bridges microstructural MRI parameters with underlying gene expression, and guides precision therapy.
  Figure 460-03-006.  Association of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes Expression with Clinicopathological and MRI Features in Breast Cancer Patients
Jiejie Zhou, Min-Ying Su
The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, WenZhou, China
Impact: Important pathological and MRI characteristics could help distinct high/low TILs level, assist the selection of candidates who may benefit from immunotherapy, and also improve the prediction of patients’ survival with different TILs expression.
  Figure 460-03-007.  Whole-tumor histogram analysis of quantitative synthetic MRI to identify HER2 zero-, low-, and over-expressing breast cancer
Ting Zhan, Wenjie Liu, Xinyi Liu, Fengyuan Luo, Jiankun Dai, YinPing Leng, Lianggeng Gong
The Second Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, China
Impact: Our results suggested whole-tumor histogram parameters of quantitative synthetic MRI (syMRI) could serve as non-invasive biomarkers for identifying HER2-zero, HER2-low, and HER2-oe. The application of syMRI would be beneficial for guiding treatment selection and monitoring HER2 status change during treatment.

Ken-Pin Hwang, Zhan Xu, Huiqin Chen, Xiaofei Huo, Beatriz Adrada, Clinton Yam, Peng Wei, Wei Yang, Jingfei Ma, Gaiane Rauch
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, United States of America
Impact: Therapy response at mid-treatment may be determined by a neural network applied to a single multi-parameter mapping sequence, which may help guide treatment strategies for improved outcomes for patients with triple negative breast cancer.
  Figure 460-03-009.  Longitudinal DCE-MRI and Biomedical Foundation Model for Predicting Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Breast Cancer
Haiwei Lin, Meng Wang, Ya Ren, Lin Li, Shuluan Chen, Jie Wen, wei cui, Zhou Liu, Bingsheng Huang

Impact: Accurate early prediction of treatment response can provide a window of opportunity for personalised treatment. This research explores the potential of early non-invasive tumour tracking using imaging and circulating tumour DNA for prediction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in breast cancer.
