Radiomics Pathomics Fusion Agent

The Radiomics Pathomics Fusion Agent integrates multimodal medical imaging data from radiology (CT, MRI, PET) and digital pathology (H&E, IHC whole slide images) with clinical and genomic data using deep learning fusion architectures. It enables comprehensive cancer phenotyping, treatment response prediction, and prognostic modeling.

When to Use This Skill

• When predicting treatment response using multimodal imaging.
• For comprehensive tumor phenotyping combining macro and micro views.
• To identify imaging biomarkers correlated with genomic features.
• When building prognostic models from combined radiology-pathology.
• For AI-powered second opinion integrating all imaging modalities.

Core Capabilities

1. Cross-Modal Fusion: Integrate radiology and pathology features using attention.

2. Radiomics Extraction: Compute 3D texture, shape, intensity features from CT/MRI.

3. Pathomics Extraction: Extract histopathological features from WSI.

4. Clinical Integration: Combine imaging with clinical variables and genomics.

5. Treatment Response Prediction: Predict chemotherapy, immunotherapy response.

6. Survival Prediction: Multi-modal prognostic modeling.
