Talk Summary:

Nano-radiomics integrates nanoparticle contrast-enhanced imaging with advanced radiomic analysis to extract quantitative signatures of disease biology beyond conventional resolution limits. By leveraging the unique pharmacokinetics and signal amplification propertiesof nanoparticles, this approach captures subtle spatial and textural patterns reflecting underlying molecular and cellular processes. In this talk, we will review the pre-clinical application of nano-radiomics for early disease detection, phenotyping, and therapy monitoring across CT and MRI platforms. The nano-radiomics framework enables transformation of invisible imaging signals into actionable biomarkers, advancing precision molecular imaging.
