Last few years has witnessed the development of novel of X‐ray imaging modalities, such as spectral CT, phase contrast CT, and X‐ray acoustic/fluorescence/luminescence imaging. This symposium will present the recent advances of these emerging X‐ray imaging modalities and update the attendees with knowledge in various related topics, including X‐ray photon‐counting detectors, X‐ray physics underlying the emerging applications beyond the traditional X‐ray imaging, image reconstruction for the novel modalities, characterization and evaluation of the systems, and their practical implications. In addition, the concept and practical aspects of X‐ray activatable targeted nanoparticles for molecular X‐ray imaging will be discussed in the context of X‐ray fluorescence and luminescence CT. Learning Objectives: 1. Present background knowledge of various emerging X‐ray imaging techniques, such as spectral CT, phase contrast CT and X‐ray fluorescence/luminescence CT. 2. Discuss the practical need, technical aspects and current status of the emerging X‐ray imaging modalities. 3. Describe utility and future impact of the new generation of X‐ray imaging applications.
