MR acquisition/processing

• 15 pts, T2c or T3a disease, 12/15 patients had neo-

adjuvant hormone therapy

• T2 weighted (T2W), diffusion weighted (DWI) and

dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI

• Phased-array pelvic and spine coils

• DWI (b-values 0 150 500 s/mm

) - ADC map generated

by scanner

• DCE (200 x 2-s 3D acquisitions) - generated Ktrans map

from 1-compartment model and arterial input function,

using PMI

1 - PMI: Platform for research in medical imaging: see Quantification of cerebral
