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

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.
