Recent research demonstrates that deep learning models are capable of precisely extracting bio-information (e.g. race, gender and age) from patients' Chest X-Rays (CXRs).

These findings suggest potential privacy considerations that the medical imaging community should consider with the proliferation of large public CXR databases.
