contents Wireless imaging has become a vital function in future integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems. However, traditional model-based and data-driven deep learning imaging methods face challenges related to multipath extraction, dataset acquisition, and multi-scenario adaptation. To overcome these limitations, this study innovatively combines implicit neural representation (INR) with explicit physical models to realize wireless imaging in reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided ISAC systems. INR employs neural networks (NNs) to project physical locations to voxel values, which is indirectly supervised by measurements of channel state information with physics-informed loss functions. The continuous shape and scattering characteristics of targets are embedded into NN parameters through training, enabling arbitrary image resolutions and off-grid voxel value prediction. Additionally, three issues related to INR-based imager are further addressed. First, INR is generalized to enable efficient imaging under multipath interference by jointly learning image and multipath information. Second, the imaging speed and accuracy for dynamic targets are enhanced by embedding prior image information. Third, imaging results are employed to assist in RIS phase design for improved communication performance. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed INR-based imager significantly outperforms traditional model-based methods with super-resolution abilities, and the focal length characteristics of the imaging system is revealed. Moreover, communication performance can benefit from the imaging results. Part of the source code for this paper can be accessed at https://github.com/kiwi1944/INRImager
