Deep-learning AI Could Predict Heart Disease Morbidity From Chest X-ray
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital are developing a new option for predicting risk of death from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD): a deep-learning AI model that searches chest X-ray images to identify patterns associated with ASCVD risk.

Artificial Intelligence Estimates Biological Age, Predicts Mortality From a Chest X-ray
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital demonstrated that "CXR-Age," a convolutional neural network, can estimate biological age from a chest X-ray image. This biological age was better than chronological age at predicting longevity.
