Biggest human imaging study scans 100,000th person

The UK Biobank project has successfully scanned the brains, hearts, and other organs of 100,000 volunteers, making it the world's largest human imaging study. The project, spanning 11 years, aims to study how bodies age and detect diseases early for targeted treatment. Over a billion scans from UK volunteers will aid researchers globally in preventing common health conditions through new advancements. The data collected, including imaging and health records, is made accessible to researchers worldwide, fostering groundbreaking research using AI and transforming how studies are conducted in the medical field.
