I have a new @medRxivpreprint that should be of interest to the #longevity community. We show how to predict risk for cardiovascular disease & all-cause mortality from a routine abdominal CT using deep learning. Accuracy on par with CAC score. Thread cont..medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Biomarkers that can be extracted from CT scans include visceral/subcutaneous fat ratio, plaque burden, vascular inflammation level, muscle bulk and density, bone mineral density, liver volume and fat fraction, pancreas volume and fat fraction... [ see moreisdifferent.com/assets/literat… ]
