Unlocking Age Secrets: AI Uses Chest X-rays to Determine Real Age
Scientists in Japan have developed an AI deep-learning model that can estimate a person's age by analyzing chest X-rays. The breakthrough could be crucial in identifying signs of disease or accelerated aging, allowing for early intervention. The study, conducted by researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University, analyzed over 67,000 chest X-rays from healthy individuals and patients with known diseases. The results showed a positive correlation between apparent age and various chronic conditions. The researchers aim to further develop this technology to predict life expectancy and forecast surgical complications.
