AMRA® BCP Scan for Radiologists

Support preventative health decisions by providing advanced MRI analysis for body composition

Leverage advanced analytics with rapid neck-to-knee MRI for volumetric fat and muscle measurements like never before

We live in an era of computationally-powered imaging and value-based medicine, offering opportunities for high-precision, high-accuracy cutting-edge technology that radiology centers will need to stay relevant and maintain meaningful relationships with both clinicians and patients.

Radiology centers must quickly adopt new technology and educate physicians and patients on new tools and clinical applications. With continued declines in reimbursement and rising costs of care, technology that can quickly add value without high cost becomes essential.

Actionable insights with AMRA® BCP Scan

Specifics Matter - the latest research in metabolic disease necessitates precise measures of fat and muscle distribution

How can we predict if someone will get a disease, such as Cardiovascular disease (CVD)? Studies have shown that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) could be the answer. Using AMRA’s BCP (Body Composition Profile) Scan service, you can measure VAT with confidence—helping you meet and exceed the needs of referring physicians as well as improving the health and wellness of your patients.

With the BCP Scan, you can see phenotypes that can help predict incident CVD. Using DHS and UKBB data, we’ve shown that you can identify individuals above or below the 50th percentile for visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and liver fat (LF) – delivered through the BCP Scan report.

View the sample report to see the five volumetric fat and muscle measurements we can quantify with precision and accuracy and how it better informs patient care teams for preventative healthcare.

How it works — It’s a rapid and easy MRI-based service

The AMRA® BCP Scan uses a rapid neck-to-knee MRI protocol that takes less than 10 minutes to perform. It works by integrating our validated BCP protocol for creating an individualized Body Composition Profile (BCP) onto your 1.5T or 3T MRI scanners. The BCP protocol is part of our Profiler 4 health informatics platform, and the acquisition protocol may come loaded automatically on your MRI machine.

Once a patient is scanned at your facility, the images are sent via a secure transfer to AMRA for analysis. Following AMRA’s image analysis, you receive an easy-to-interpret report containing precise body composition measurements. To provide context for the individual patient’s measurements, each value is matched to a virtual control group with similar characteristics such as sex and BMI.

Built on MRI — outperforming other imaging technologies

For us at AMRA, our goal is to deliver meaningful, and actionable data. This means our technology needs to be built on MRI: the superior technology platform.

MRI with BCP is more accurate and delivers more precise insights compared with BIA, DXA, and CT. What’s more, MRI is radiation-free unlike CT.

Potential clinical utility of MRI with BCP

Preventative Health and Wellness

The BCP Scan can be incorporated into a longevity or fitness plan to help individuals assess their health and wellness over time. Periodically measuring fat and muscle volume will support an active lifestyle well into their senior years.

Heart Disease
BCP Scan can find those with high levels of visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Research has shown that high VAT is predictive of incident CVD. This information can help physicians promote healthy exercise and diet choices.
Pre-operative decision-making

For volumetric quantification of muscle and fat measurements – including muscle volume and muscle fat infiltration.

Type 2 diabetes
BCP Scan measures visceral fat and liver fat, which can help physicians promote healthy lifestyle choices or measure how the body changes in response to treatment.
Fitness

Monitoring the impact of training on muscle volume (quantity) and muscle fat (quality) may help physicians understand if their patient’s exercise program is working or may need adjustments.

Obesity

For healthy weight-loss monitoring – is the patient actually losing visceral fat, or only losing subcutaneous fat? Knowing this may motivate healthy lifestyles and encourage individuals to decide when they may need to course-correct.

Regulatory Clearance and Availability

The AMRA® BCP Scan Report is generated by AMRA® Profiler. AMRA® Profiler 4 has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in Q4 2021, and is permitted for distribution of the AMRA® BCP Scan in the US.
