To investigate the diagnostic capability of whole-lesion (WL) histogram and texture analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI inline-generated quantitative parametric maps using CAIPIRINHA-Dixon-TWIST-VIBE (CDTV) to differentiate malignant from benign breast lesions and breast cancer subtypes. ⋯ • Inline DCE mapping with CDTV is effective and time-saving. • WL histogram and texture-extracted features could distinguish breast cancer from benign lesions accurately. • kep_contrast, kep_skewness, and IAUGC60_5th percentile could predict breast cancer subtypes, lymph node metastasis, and proliferation abilities, respectively.
