What We Do

Body Composition Analysis to Support Decision-Making

We analyze whole-body MR images to classify and quantify muscle and fat with unprecedented accuracy and precision—creating a new standard for assessing body composition.

Welcome to the future of precision medicine—where you can get a detailed digital window into the health of your patients to support clinical and drug R&D decision-making.

What is Body Composition?

Body composition definitions vary by source, but ultimately, it describes what the body is made up of—which is mainly fat, muscles, bone, and water. It is used to offer a better glimpse into health than traditional methods (e.g., BMI, DXA).

Data-driven decision making starts with tools and measurements you can trust.

What is Body Composition Analysis?

Using whole-body MRI and automated image analysis, AMRA can assess an individual’s muscle and fat throughout the body, and relate it to human health and disease. Our approach to body composition analysis brings us one step closer to personalized medicine by equipping clinicians and researchers with meaningful data.

Our Body Composition Measurements

AMRA’s body composition methods are enabled through a rapid MRI protocol and precise biomarkers. We offer body composition biomarkers for various therapeutic areas depending on your intended use.

Our list of body composition biomarkers continues to grow. Here are some of our common measurements:

Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT)

VAT within the abdominal cavity, excluding adipose tissue outside the abdominal cavity.

Abdominal Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (ASAT)

Subcutaneous adipose tissue measured from the top of the femoral head to the top of the thoracic vertebrae T9.

Fat Free Muscle Volume (FFMV)

Total volume of the viable muscle tissue for a particular muscle or muscle group, i.e. the part of the muscle without fat.

Muscle Fat Infiltration (MFI)

Mean fat fraction in the viable muscle tissue (FFMV) of the thighs.

Individual Muscle Measurements

Precise quantification of group or individual muscle volumes in the body.

Liver PDFF

Proton-density Fat Fraction (PDFF), a well-established measurement of liver fat content.

Muscle Fat Fraction (MFF)

The balance between fat and muscle tissue—a higher value indicates a larger amount of fat in relation to muscles.

How We Do It

Our digital health platform elevates conventional body composition analysis to precise, actionable measurements to augment clinical research and clinical workflows.
