Age is an essential clinical parameter. It is often utilized as a risk factor for various disorders with the potential of influencing therapeutic decisions. However, a discrepancy exists between the chronological age (CA) and the biological age (BA) of an individual due to many factors such as medical history, genetics and lifestyle. In this preliminary work, we propose a novel deep-learning architecture for organ-specific CA estimation from 3D MR volumes for the brain and knee. We hypothesize that the introduced organ-specific approach would enable future analysis of the BA as different organs are expected to exhibit different aging characteristics.
