[Abstract] With its advantage of high sensitivity and accuracy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been the most compelling imaging test in evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) of breast cancer and widely accepted by the clinic. However, due to the high heterogeneity and the various shrinking patterns after chemotherapy, the current MRI assessment regimens could not help clinicians to formulate therapy plan individually. Therefore, it has become a close concern for how MRI to evaluate the efficacy of NAC accurately. Reviewing of the application of MRI in different phase of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, we will discuss the appropriate MRI testing times and imaging index and then look forward to future directions in this area based on tumor heterogeneity.
