Using AI to Assess Body Composition Could Help in Cancer Care

In a recent study, NCI-funded researchers applied an artificial intelligence model to lung screening computed tomography images to assess body composition. The team used two key indicators of health—skeletal muscle and fat (adipose) tissue—to predict death from lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other causes.
