N2 - Interstitial Fluid Pressure (IFP) is a major obstacle to intra-tumoral drug delivery. A routine non-invasive assessment of IFP will serve as a valuable predictor for the response to neoadjuvant treatment in breast cancer. It will also be the basis for a rationalized and personalized therapy by improving the efficacy of anti-cancer therapeutics via reduction of tumor IFP. We developed an automated robust algorithm for assessing IFP based on image analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) examinations. This method is easy to implement on any MRI dataset of breast cancer and does not require any input from the radiologist besides delineating the tumor region.
