Core Tip	Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has shown great potentials not only in diagnosis, but also in therapy. DCE-MRI is a promising technique for assessing breast cancer radiation treatment due to its inherent sensitivity to the microvascular environment changes. Correlative studies have demonstrated proof concepts of DCE-MRI parameters as potential biomarkers. This article reviews the basic principles of breast DCE-MRI and recent studies using DCE-MRI in breast treatment assessment. Future clinical trials and research works are needed to develop standardized DCE-MRI assessment methods, towards the goal of individualized radiation therapy.
