Purpose. To assess the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) parameters to monitor residual tumor following non-invasive MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRIgFUS) of breast tumors.Methods. DCE-MRI data were acquired before and after the MRIgFUS treatment of small breast tumors (d < 3.5 cm) for 17 patients. The lesion was surgically resected and the presence of residual tumor was determined by histopathological analysis. The percentage of residual tumor was correlated with three DCE-MRI parameters measured at the maximally enhancing site of each tumor: increase in signal intensity (ISI), maximum difference function (MDF) and positive enhancement integral (PEI).Results. A good correlation was found between the ISI (r = 0.897), MDF ( r = 0.789) and PEI ( r = 0.859) parameters and the percentage of residual viable tumor determined by histopathology. A receiver operator characteristic curve analysis yielded a cutoff value for ISI at 20% with a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 100%.Conclusion. These results suggest that parameters from DCE-MRI data could provide a reliable non-invasive method for assessing residual tumor following MRIgFUS treatment of breast tumors.
