Age is one of the most important clinical parameters describing patients in a medical context. The chronological age (CA) does however not necessarily reflect the true underlying biological age (BA) which can depend on multiple factors such as lifestyle, social environment, medical history, genetics and ethnicity. It is therefore desirable to measure BA quantitatively and objectively. In this proof-of-principle study, we examine if CA can be estimated from whole-body MRI. We propose a novel deep learning architecture to perform an accurate CA estimation.
