DCE-MRI can provide quantitative estimates of perfusion-related parameters in tumors, such as blood flow and blood volume fraction. It has also been proposed that IVIM MRI can be used to characterize perfusion in addition to microstructure. This proposal remains controversial and requires further investigation. In this study, we investigate the relationship between perfusion-related parameters measured by IVIM and DCE-MRI in a cohort of patients with breast cancer imaged before and after one and two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
