Two intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) metrics (Volume Entropy and Intensity Entropy) were extracted to quantify the structural and signal complexity of tumors. Three discriminative models were developed: a clinical model based on clinicopathologic variables, an ITH model incorporating Volume Entropy and Intensity Entropy, and an integrated nomogram combining both feature sets.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Tests<\/jats:title>\n \n Student's\n t<\/jats:italic>\n test, Wilcoxon\n U<\/jats:italic>\n test,\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n , Fisher exact test, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Significance was set at\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Volume Entropy and Intensity Entropy were significantly lower in pCR versus non\u2010pCR groups. HR status, HER2 status, and both ITH features were independent indicators of pCR. The nomogram showed superior performance (AUC\u2009=\u20090.849 in the training set and 0.825 in the validation set), outperforming the clinical model (\n DeLong<\/jats:italic>\n test). Subgroup analysis across four molecular subtypes showed AUCs ranging from 0.762 to 0.890. An interactive online tool was developed for clinical application.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Data Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n MRI\u2010based habitat analysis offers a simple, interpretable, and
