Fig. 3A —Example of favorable response predicted by MRI in 48-year-old woman. Shown are largest diameter of late enhancement (LDlate) in tumor (dark area) in sagittal (A, D), axial (B, E), and coronal (C, F) planes before chemotherapy (MRI scan 1, A–C) and after two courses of chemotherapy (MRI scan 2, D–F). LDlate at MRI scan 1 is 28 mm and at MRI scan 2 is 11 mm. Percentage of difference, LDlate_2–1, = [(28 – 11) / 28] x 100% = 61% reduction. Favorable response is to be anticipated according to MRI response prediction test. After chemotherapy was completed, final pathology showed complete remission.
