  • Scannexus, world-leading Ultra High-Field MRI facility based in Maastricht Netherlands, incorporates AMRA into service offering for researchers
  • AMRA partners with Scannexus, thus strengthening academic relationships and clinical research opportunities in Europe
  • Precise measurement of fat and muscle tissue highly valuable to researchers focusing upon metabolic disease, such as obesity and diabetes

Sweden, October [2], 2017: AMRA, the international leader in body composition analysis, today announced a partnership with Scannexus, a world-leading Ultra High-Field MRI scanner facility located at the Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus. The partnership was confirmed with official signatures of the collaboration agreement and a full-day AMRA introduction seminar to the Brightlands Maastricht Health Community.

Together, Scannexus and AMRA offer something new to the research community: the ability to translate a Rapid MRI whole body MRI scan into precise, 3D-volumetric fat and muscle measurements using scanners at Scannexus. This is good news for researchers in the Netherlands, including Maastricht and surrounding clinical research centers, as AMRA® Profiler Researcher makes it possible to understand metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes.

Ultra-High-MR imaging provides new levels of insights into human anatomy and function, opening up a range of possibilities with implications for medical diagnosis and treatment. Using AMRA’s tool, AMRA® Profiler Research, researchers can now quantitatively measure fat and muscle tissue content using the same MRI scanners. Scannexus is the perfect partner for this, as the company has three ultra-high MRI scanners used intensively for research.

AMRA CEO, Tommy Johansson, came to Maastricht to announce the partnership at a seminar, “The collaboration with Scannexus will bring AMRA, a research-based company, closer to the Center of Excellence in Human Biology, NUTRIM and other clinics at Maastricht UMC+ in the Netherlands. This will add to the understanding of body composition and risk profiling of metabolic diseases.”

Scannexus CEO, Albert Scherpbier, responded that the bundling of strengths will allow them to open up a new market, “The partnership with AMRA makes it possible to get scan results produced at Scannexus and Maastricht UMC+ to researchers much faster. Researchers now have one point of contact for support with their research.”
