UK Biobank scanned 100,000 volunteers' whole bodies

UK Biobank has completed the world's largest whole-body imaging project, scanning 100,000 volunteers, which is already impacting disease detection and diagnosis. The project scanned brains, hearts, and other body parts, providing unprecedented data on aging and disease. Scientists are using the data to develop better diagnostic tests for conditions like heart disease and dementia. This project, with over one billion images, is enabling new insights into health and disease, leading to improved patient care and advancements in medical research.
