Advance Precision Medicine with MRI-based Measurements
To make optimal patient care decisions, clinicians need a new standard — a precise, accurate, and cost-effective way to understand the individual’s body composition far beyond what is available today. While healthcare advances in understanding and utilizing individual variability in genetics, lifestyle, and biology, body composition analysis remains imprecise and impersonal.
Healthcare is evolving. Your measurements should too.
Musculoskeletal Research
Get never before possible whole-body muscle and muscle fat measurements —uncompromised quality and precision is changing what’s possible in Neuromuscular Disorders.
Metabolic Research
Move your trials forward quickly and confidently with whole-body MRI and body composition measurements—because accurate data fuels breakthrough therapeutics.

Enhance Clinical Decision-Making With AMRA
Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular Disorder Research
Whole-Body Muscle Assessment
Enhance musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorder (NMD) research by leveraging our whole-body MRI protocol and subject matter experts—our MRI protocol is tailored to your area of interest, such as FSHD, DMD, SBMA, LGMD, SMA, Myotonic Dystrophy, Mitochondrial Myopathies and several others.
Our measurements can help you deepen your
understanding of complex diseases and:
- Complement functional tests with quantitative, objective muscle assessments
- Visualize individualized disease heterogeneity in patients across various disease stages
- Detect small and large changes in muscle and fat volumes and tissue quality
- Align clinical research aims with FDA accepted biomarkers, potentially leading to regulatory approval
Metabolic Research
Whole-Body Fat and Muscle Measurements
Accelerate your metabolic disease research and clinical trials to the next level with our Body Composition Profiling Protocol—adaptable to your area of interest, including Liver Disease, NASH, NAFLD, Obesity, Diabetes, Sarcopenia, Cachexia.
Our measurements can help you derisk drug development and:
- Optimize patient recruitment
- Detect therapeutic efficacy early
- Monitor changes in body composition over time
Imaging Analytics and Consulting Services
Whether you are designing your first human research study or are launching any phase clinical trial, we offer imaging services to maximize your success and de-risk the drug development lifecycle.
Clinical Protocol Design
Optimize your study from the start with expert input on which of our MR Imaging biomarkers to include and what muscles to evaluate.
Exploratory Biomarkers
Use our imaging biomarkers in novel ways and explore the biomarkers currently in development.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT
An Optimized Clinical Protocol for Whole-Body MRI in FSHD
AMRA and Fulcrum developed an optimized whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol and analysis that correlates with clinical outcome assessments in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). The use of MRI and AMRA’s automated measurements can detect small and large changes in muscle—potentially before changes in FSHD-relevant clinical endpoints, providing information earlier on disease severity and progression.
