[Abstract] Objective: To explore the correlation between histogram quantitative parameters of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) single index and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) dual index model and Ki-67 proliferation index of breast cancer.Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 56 patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer, a total of 57 lesions. All the subjects were performed preoperatively with MRI examination (plain scan, multi-b value DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced), IVIM histogram parameters (ADC, D, D*, and f) were obtained by post-processing software, including minimum, maximum, mean, 10th, 25th, 50th (median), 75th, 90th, skewness and kurtosis. IVIM histogram parameters (ADC, D, D*, and f) of patients with different Ki-67 expression were compared to explore the relationships between MRI and immunohistochemical findings of patients with breast cancer; Correlation between histogram parameters and breast cancer Ki-67 proliferation index by Spearman correlation coefficient.Results: The ADC value (skewness and kurtosis), D value (skewness and kurtosis), D* value (mean, maximum, skewness and kurtosis) in the Ki-67 high-expression group were significantly higher than those in the Ki-67 low-expression group, D* value (minimum) in the Ki-67 high-expression group was lower than that of Ki-67 low-expression group (P<0.05), while no significant differences were showed in all histogram parameters of f-value between the two groups (P>0.05). ADC value (skewness and kurtosis), D value(skewness and kurtosis), D* value (mean, maximum, skewness and kurtosis) were positively correlated with Ki-67 proliferation index (r=0.296—0.509, P<0.05), D* value (minimum) was negatively correlated with Ki-67 proliferation index (r=-0.262, P<0.05).Conclusions: IVIM-DWI histogram quantitative parameters were correlated with Ki-67 proliferation index of breast cancer, and the maximum value of D* has the highest correlation. This may indicate the potential to provide a surrogate measure of Ki-67 expression through non-invasive imaging methods.
