Large-scale medical studies such as the UK Biobank examine thousands of volunteer participants with medical imaging techniques. Combined with the vast amount of collected metadata, anatomical information from these images has the potential for medical analyses at unprecedented scale. However, their evaluation often requires manual input and long processing times, limiting the amount of reference values for biomarkers and other measurements available for research. Recent approaches with convolutional neural networks for regression can perform these evaluations automatically. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of more than 40,000 UK Biobank subjects, these systems can estimate human age, body composition and more. This style of analysis is almost entirely data-driven and no manual intervention or guidance with manually segmented ground truth images is required. The networks often closely emulate the reference method that provided their training data and can reach levels of agreement comparable to the expected variability between established medical gold standard techniques. The risk of silent failure can be individually quantified by predictive uncertainty obtained from a mean-variance criterion and ensembling. Saliency analysis furthermore enables an interpretation of the underlying relevant image features and showed that the networks learned to correctly target specific organs, limbs, and regions of interest.
Along with rich health-related metadata, medical images have been acquired for over 40,000 male and female UK Biobank participants, aged 44-82, since 2014. Phenotypes derived from these images, such as measurements of body composition from MRI, can r

Classification of malignancy for breast cancer and other cancer types is usually tackled as an object detection problem: Individual lesions are first localized and then classified with respect to malignancy. However, the drawback of this approach is
