AI reads organ age from routine chest CT scans, predicts disease risk across 35,000 cases
rand_longevity · x · 2026-09-03
A preprint from MD Anderson and collaborators on medRxiv shows AI can quantify multi-organ "aging age" from routine chest CT scans, covering lungs, heart, aorta, coronary arteries, and pulmonary arteries.
- The model was trained to read chest CTs and score each organ's biological age individually, validated on 35,000 cases
- Multi-organ aging scores predict chronic disease risk and mortality — "aging tests hiding in plain sight" in standard imaging
- Paper: Multi-organ aging quantified from routine chest CT predicts chronic disease risk and mortality
