[Abstract] Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been widely used as a standard preoperative treatment for locally advanced breast cancer, which can significantly reduce clinical staging and improve tumor prognosis. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can detect functional and metabolic changes of breast cancer before morphological changes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, accurately predict pathological response, and help clinical effectively formulate and adjust further treatment programs. Techniques of functional MRI used commonly in clinic includ dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), etc. In this review, these common techniques used to evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on breast cancer are summarized in terms of application and research progress.
