Age prediction using a large chest X-ray dataset

Understand

Age prediction based on appearances of different anatomies in medical images has been clinically explored for many decades.

• In this paper, we used deep learning to predict a persons age on Chest X-Rays.
• Specifically, we trained a CNN in regression fashion on a large publicly available dataset.
• Moreover, for interpretability, we explored activation maps to identify which areas of a CXR image are important for the machine (i.e.
