Differentiation of triple-negative breast cancer from other subtypes through whole-tumor histogram analysis on multiparametric MR imaging

ConclusionsWhole-tumor histogram-based imaging features derived from ADC, along with washin and washout maps, provide a non-invasive analytical approach for discriminating TN cancers from other subtypes.Key Points•Whole-tumor histogram-based features on MR multiparametric maps can help to assess biological characterization of breast cancer.• Histogram-based texture analysis may predict the molecular subtypes of breast cancer.• Combined DWI and DCE evaluation helps to identify triple-negative breast cancer.
