# 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.

## Supported Imaging Modalities

## Workflow

1. **Input**: CT/MRI DICOM, pathology WSI, clinical data, optional genomics.

2. **Segmentation**: Tumor ROI extraction from radiology.

3. **Radiomics**: Extract 3D radiomic features.

4. **Pathomics**: Extract histopathology features via foundation models.

5. **Fusion**: Multimodal feature integration.

6. **Prediction**: Treatment response, survival, biomarker prediction.

7. **Output**: Integrated predictions, attention maps, explanations.

## Multimodal Integration Strategies

| Strategy | Description | Use Case |
|----------|-------------|----------|
| Feature-Level | Combine extracted features | Limited data |
| Embedding-Level | Fuse latent representations | Moderate data |
| Decision-Level | Ensemble predictions | Interpretability |
| End-to-End | Joint training | Large data |

## Special Considerations

1. **Data Alignment**: Ensure imaging from same timepoint
2. **Missing Modalities**: Handle incomplete multimodal data
3. **Class Imbalance**: Balance training across outcomes
4. **Interpretability**: Attention maps for clinical trust
5. **Validation**: External multi-site validation essential

## Quality Control

| QC Check | Threshold | Action |
|----------|-----------|--------|
| CT coverage | >90% tumor | Rescan if needed |
| WSI quality | Blur score <X | Re-scan slide |
| Segmentation | Dice >0.85 | Manual review |
| Feature stability | ICC >0.8 | Robust features only |

## Regulatory Considerations

| Aspect | Status |
|--------|--------|
| FDA Clearance | Individual modality tools cleared |
| Multimodal Fusion | Research use only (RUO) |
| Clinical Integration | PACS/LIS integration pathways |
| Explainability | Required for clinical adoption |
