• Voxel-wise TIC profiles were mapped, and their composition ratio was compared between various breast lesions. • The model based on the composition ratio of voxel-wise TIC profiles significantly outperformed the three-type TIC classification model and the semiquantitative parameters model in lesion malignancy differentiation and tumor proliferation status prediction in breast lesions. • This novel, data-driven approach allows the intuitive visualization and quantification of the hemodynamic heterogeneity of breast lesions.
