MRI texture analysis in differentiating luminal A and luminal B breast cancer molecular subtypes - a feasibility study

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to use texture analysis (TA) of breast magnetic resonance (MR) images to assist in differentiating estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer molecular subtypes. Methods Twenty-seven patients with histopathologically proven invasive ductal breast canc...
