Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images (DCE-MRI) and parametric maps of representative cases. a, b Triple negative type invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) in the left breast of a 55-year-old woman. c, d Luminal type IDC in left breast of a 54-year-old woman. Standard DCE-MRI (first post-contrast phase; a, c) and ultrafast DCE-MRI (15th phase, generated parametric maps, and signal intensity curves; b, d) are shown. The triple negative type IDC showed rapid increase of signal intensity with maximum slope (MS) of 0.145 mmol/s and bolus arrival time (BAT) of 18.8 s. The luminal type IDC showed slow increase of signal intensity with MS of 0.054 mmol/s and BAT of 27.7 s
