AI Models Predict Lung Cancer Risk Using Less Data, Simplifying Screening

Artificial intelligence models predicted lung cancer risk as well as or better than existing models using just 3 variables age, years smoked, cigarettes per day.
Study found AI could simplify lung cancer screening at the population level during routine doctor visits or via apps.
Early lung cancer detection improves outcomes; targeted screening programs starting in UK and EU.
Machine learning tools like AutoPrognosis combined with clinicians can impact healthcare.
Retrospective data limitations mean more regions should be considered.

Can AI predict how long you'll live just from looking at chest X-rays?

Main topic: AI can estimate a healthy individual's age from a chest radiograph. Key points: 1. AI model developed by scientists can read chest X-rays to determine a person's biological age. 2. Higher AI-estimated age compared to actual age indicates a higher likelihood of having a chronic disease. 3. AI model could be used for early detection and intervention of age-related diseases, but further research is needed to confirm causality and study other ethnic groups.
