Automated calculation of background parenchymal enhancement as a biomarker of treatment responses and recurrence-free survival in breast cancer
Automated quantification of BPE from DCE-MRI provides an objective and reproducible imaging biomarker associated with treatment response and overall survival in breast cancer. These results support its potential utility for individualized risk stratification and therapeutic decision-making.
