Abstract
Our findings suggest that tumor perfusion, represented by 15O-water PET blood flow, is an important factor in the MRI enhancement of locally advanced breast cancer. A lack of correlation of FDG metabolic rate with blood flow and DCE-MRI kinetics suggests that 18F-FDG PET provides complementary metabolic information independent of vascular factors.
