In this work, we propose new prognostic methods that predict 5-year mortality in elderly individuals using chest computed tomography (CT). The methods consist of a classifier that performs this prediction using a set of features extracted from the CT image and segmentation maps of multiple anatomic structures.  Preliminary results of this work have been published in ISBI 2017 and Scientific Reports (SREP).
