## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the relationship between changes in vascularity and metabolic activity measured by dynamic contrastβenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCEβMRI) and dynamic ^18^FβFDGβpositron emission tomography (PET) in breast tumors undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. ##
## BACKGROUND. Mammographic and physical examination assessments of the response of locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC) to neoadjuvant therapy have been shown to be inaccurate. The authors studied the feasibility and accuracy of [technetium 99m]-sestamibi (MIBI) for monitoring the response of
