Bismuth (Bi)‐based nanomaterials can exhibit characteristic attenuation depending on different levels of X‐ray energy, known as “energy‐dependent attenuation”. Liver‐fibrosis‐targeted Bi‐based nanomaterials, BiF 3 @PDA@HA, can exhibit characteristic attenuation on monoenergetic X‐ray, endowing the diagnosis of liver fibrosis via monoenergetic imaging of spectral computed tomography. More details can be found in article number 2002548 by Yan Zhou, Wenbo Bu, Zhenwei Yao and co‐workers.
