Amra

AMRA transforms images from a rapid, 6-minute whole body MRI scan into precise, 3D-volumetric fat and muscle measurements. AMRA's service offers precise, automated insights that have far-reaching implications for the pharmaceutical industry, academic R&D and, soon, clinical practice. AMRA was founded in 2010 as a spin-off of the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV), the Department of Biomedical Engineering (IMT) and the Department of Medicine and Health (IMH) at Linköping University, Sweden. At the 2017 10th Annual Conference on Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Wasting Disorders, AMRA's accepted abstract showed that, in 5.681 subjects from UK Biobank, its body composition profiling revealed a strong association between intramuscular adipose tissue and prior health care burden for the sarcopenic group.
