Abstract:BackgroundAccurate evaluation of the axillary lymph node (ALN) status is needed for determining the treatment protocol for breast cancer (BC). The value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based tumor heterogeneity in assessing ALN metastasis in BC is unclear.PurposeTo assess the value of deep learning (DL)‐derived kinetic heterogeneity parameters based on BC dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE)‐MRI to infer the ALN status.Study TypeRetrospective.Subjects1256/539/153/115 patients in the training cohort, internal va… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
