To investigate if the pretreatment dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI)-based radiomics machine learning predicts the pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients.Seventy-eight breast cancer patients who underwent DCE-MRI before NAC and confirmed as pCR or non-pCR were enrolled. Early enhancement mapping images of pretreatment DCE-MRI were created using subtraction formula as follows: Early enhancement mapping = (SignalThe best diagnostic performance based on F-score was achieved when both first and second order texture features with clinical information and subjective radiological findings were used (AUC = 0.77). The second best diagnostic performance was achieved with an AUC of 0.76 for first order texture features followed by an AUC of 0.76 for first and second order texture features.Pretreatment DCE-MRI can improve the prediction of pCR in breast cancer patients when all texture features with clinical information and subjective radiological findings are input to build the prediction model.
