Breast cancer (BC) remains one of the leading causes of death among women. The management and outcome in BC are strongly influenced by a multidisciplinary approach, which includes available treatment options and different imaging modalities for accurate response assessment. Among breast imaging modalities, MR imaging is the modality of choice in evaluating response to neoadjuvant therapy, whereas F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, conventional computed tomography (CT), and bone scan play a vital role in assessing response to therapy in metastatic BC. There is an unmet need for a standardized patient-centric approach to use different imaging methods for response assessment.
