Through extracting and analyzing a large number of features from medical imaging, radiomics has shown promising results in treatment outcome prediction for many diseases including breast cancer (45-50). UTSW physics group has developed several new radiomic approaches and radiomic features, such as a multi-objective radiomics model(51) and a new radiomic "Shell" feature(52). As an exploratory end point for this trial, the investigators will explore the application radiomics using pre-treatment MRI, treatment parameters and clinical characteristics as input to predict pathological response of radiation therapy (XRT) based on pathology report of surgical tissues and local recurrence.
Microbubble Contrast non-FDA approved for route of administration

RECRUITINGSingle fraction pre-operative radiation
To determine efficacy of single fraction 30 Gy pre-operative radiation in early-stage ER+ breast cancer patients and determine pathologic complete response rate at 10-15 months after radiation. Patients that have not had a complete imaging response on MRI, OA, or on needle biopsy at 9 months will move onto a second fraction of PULSAR radiation of 8 Gy at 9-10 months. Surgery will be at 10-12 months for those with complete imaging response and negative needle biopsy. For those with residual disease surgery will be postponed to 12-15 months.
Time frame: 4 years
Microbubble contrast
To evaluate the potential of microbubble contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) as a non-operative alternative to sentinel lymph node mapping and biopsy in early-stage ER+ Breast Cancer patients undergoing pre -operative single fraction radiation. Assess concordance of preoperative and pre-radiation microbubble CEUS with SLN mapping and biopsy at time of partial mastectomy.
Time frame: 4 years
