Core Tip	This minireview proposes radiomics-the extraction of high-dimensional quantitative features from routine medical images-as a novel tool for precision anaesthesia. By quantifying body composition, organ function, and vascular morphology from preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, clinicians can obtain objective biomarkers of physiologic reserve that augment traditional preoperative evaluation. Integration of radiomic features with clinical data through machine learning may enable personalized anaesthetic planning, optimized drug dosing, and improved identification of high-risk surgical patients.
