MR image from a 55-year-old patient with triple-negative breast cancer from training set. (A, above) Axial postcontrast T1-weighted image from baseline MRI exam shows unifocal enhancing mass (unifocality: positive). (B, below) Axial postcontrast T1-weighted image from MRI examination per-formed after one cycle of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy shows >37% reduction in lesion size (early tumor shrinkage: positive) and development of non-enhancing region within lesion (percentage enhancement reduction: positive).
