Mean distribution of the diffusion coefficients of the three models before the start of treatment and after three cycles of chemotherapy in complete and non-complete responders. There is an overall increase in parameters in both groups; however, a larger increase is noted in the ADC and DDC of complete responders. When the increase in mean values of ADC and DDC were compared between response groups at mid-treatment, a significant difference was observed; p = 0.03 and p = 0.04 respectively. However, the increase in D _t did not show statistical significance between response groups (p = 0.14). Error bars represent the 95 % confidence interval
