A nonrigid registration algorithm for longitudinal breast MR images and the analysis of breast tumor response
2009
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) can estimate parameters relating to blood flow and tissue volume fractions and therefore may be used to characterize the response of breast tumors to treatment. ...
