WARF TECHNOLOGIES

UW-Madison researchers have created a fully automated, medical image based tool to estimate survival and biological age. The innovation combines multiple body composition measurements from medical imaging data into a single measurement to provide greater insight into an individual's health than can be obtained from these body composition measurements in isolation. The ability to extract multiple measurements from a single volumetric medical scan using automated tools makes such a combined measurement practical, for example, opportunistically leveraging volumetric medical scans that are obtained for other clinical indications.
