A quantitative correlation study was performed between optical parameters measured by Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy Imaging (DOSI) and DCE-MRI kinetic parameters in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In patients who achieved pathologic complete response, DOSI parameters (oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin and oxygen saturation) were strongly correlated with Ktrans and kep. This relationship was changed or became weaker after chemotherapy. In patients who did not achieve pCR, there was no significant correlation between any DOSI and DCE-MRI parameters in both baseline and follow-up studies. Different findings were seen between these two groups, suggesting that these relationships may be explored for predicting therapeutic response.
