AMRA Medical

AMRA Medical Our Vision is a new, fundamental way of thinking about health.

We leverage our proprietary MRI body composition analytics and deep expertise in disease research to deliver precise biomarkers – extracting insights from within your research or patient data to enhance your drug trial or clinical decision-making. AMRA is the first in the world to transform MR images into precise body composition measurements using a cloud-based, computer-aided service and a rapid MRI scan. Our imaging-based biomarkers (visceral fat, abdominal subcutaneous fat, liver fat, intramuscular fat, muscle group volumes, single muscle volumes, etc) are designed to play a long-term role in clinical trial development, research studies, and preventive care in a clinical setting. We collaborate with world-leading pharma, biobanks, research institutions, and hospitals, aiding in the advancement of metabolic research and its therapeutic application. With accurate knowledge about our bodies, we assist global medical leaders in predicting and preventing illnesses related to obesity-related and other metabolic disease, including diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, sarcopenia, musculoskeletal disorders, and more. We provide knowledge to the medical community so that every individual can become — and stay — healthy.

Students to Scientists: AMRA Inspires the Next Generation at LiU!

Earlier today, we had the pleasure of seeing one of our own return to familiar ground! Hanna Heering, a Clinical Scientist at AMRA Medical and a recent graduate of Linköpings universitet (LiU), spoke to current students about her journey from studying chemical biology and protein science at LiU, to helping drive innovation in MRI-based fat and muscle analytics at AMRA.

During the luncheon, Hanna shared how a chance discovery of AMRA during her thesis search led her to a career focused on tackling some of today’s biggest health challenges, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. She also introduced students to the science behind AMRA’s technology: using advanced MRI analytics to precisely quantify fat and muscle composition, a method born right here at LiU.

AMRA’s roots in Linköping run deep, founded by researchers from LiU who were inspired to better understand human health. That early curiosity sparked a mission that now supports global clinical trials and healthcare decisions: all starting with local research and talent.

We’re proud to be part of the Linköping community and committed to fostering the next generation of scientific leaders. Whether it’s through internships, thesis collaborations, or events like this, AMRA continues to invest in education and the incredible minds coming out of LiU and Sweden.

A big thank you to Hanna for representing us so brilliantly, and to all the students who joined the session. We’re excited to see where your curiosity leads you next!

AMRA Medical Brings AMRA® BCP Scan to the Netherlands Through Partnership with Prescan

We are pleased to announce the official launch of our cutting-edge AMRA® BCP Scan service, powered by AMRA® Profiler (CE, NB 2862), in the Netherlands. The launch, which marks BCP Scan’s third new market entry of 2025 (Sweden & Germany), expands the availability of our service within the EU into the Netherlands through an exclusive partnership with Prescan, an independent health & wellness clinic in Baarn which specializes in preventive health screenings and care.

The AMRA® BCP Scan service provides clinicians with fat distribution measurements, including visceral fat, subcutaneous fat and liver fat, in addition to muscle composition biomarkers that comprise a detailed body composition profile (BCP) to assist in the assessment of health risks.

At launch, Prescan will make AMRA® BCP Scan available to customers as a standalone product, and will be the only center offering BCP Scan in the Netherlands. Read more here: https://www.prescan.nl/en/mri-scan/mri-body-composition

Currently, AMRA® BCP Scan service is additionally available through AMRA’s service provision in the US, Canada, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK - with plans to roll out in more countries in 2026 and beyond.

AMRA Medical To Present New Research on Fat Distribution & Muscle Composition in Heart Failure at the 22nd Global CVCT Forum

We are excited to share that we will be attending and presenting at the 22nd iteration of the CVCT - Cardiovascular Clinical Trialists Forum, happening December 8-10 at The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.!

AMRA is looking forward to contributing to the conversation at CVCT 2025, most notably by sharing results from a recent study done in collaboration with Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA from the Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, and Linköping University. Given the lack of normative data regarding body composition in individuals with heart failure (HF), the study aimed to provide reference data for fat distribution and muscle composition in 185 participants with HF based on the UK Biobank imaging study.

The results showed that HF was characterized by subtle but consistent alterations in fat distribution and marked muscle derangements, rather than overt obesity or sarcopenia, and suggest that traditional indices for obesity and sarcopenia underestimate the burden of metabolic and musculoskeletal derangements in HF. This study comes at a pivotal time in the heart failure trials space as ongoing studies assess the use of weight-loss therapies for management within HF populations, with associated concerns surrounding loss of muscle mass and onset of sarcopenia.

Are you attending CVCT 2025? You can learn more about the study and its findings by visiting us at our poster, presented by Jennifer Linge, PhD, or by connecting with us at info@amramedical.com to find a time to discuss with our team on site in D.C.. We would love to see you there and talk about how AMRA’s various offerings can help move your science and clinical care practice forward, in cardiovascular disease and beyond.

The 2nd Annual Innovation in Obesity Therapeutics Summit is here!

AMRA’s CEO, Dr. Olof Dahlqvist Leinhard, discusses how transformative MRI-based body composition methods and AMRA’s unique biomarkers are redefining obesity drug trials.

➜ "MRI-based Body Composition Reimagined: Building a New Foundation for Treatment Differentiation Beyond Weight Loss"
➜ Olof Dahlqvist Leinhard, PhD
➜ December 3rd, 2:10pm

This talk covers:

‣ FDA-cleared MRI-based body composition analysis provides a new standard for muscle and fat quantification enabling translation from population studies and clinical trials all the way into healthcare.

‣ Studies on Personalized Fat and Muscle Z-score biomarkers show improved prediction of outcomes and that weight- and BMI-invariant treatment effects can be detected.

‣ Understanding loss of muscle mass and shifts in fat distribution in the context of weight reduction and exploring the varying effects of liraglutide and tirzepatide in recent clinical trials.

Our Story

AMRA is a ground-breaking international digital health company at the forefront of medical imaging and precision medicine. The company has developed a new global standard in body composition assessment, the ability to automatically produce multiple fat and muscle biomarkers with unrivaled precision and accuracy, as well as contextual disease insights – all from a single, rapid, whole-body MRI. AMRA was founded in 2010 as a spin-off of Linköping University, Sweden, with the aim to support transformative care and vital decision-making from clinical research to health and wellness.

Imbalances between muscle and fat are linked to a multitude of diseases and to some of the greatest challenges for patients and healthcare systems globally. A detailed understanding of body composition is, therefore, vital for identifying and tracking health and metabolic status, diseases or injuries, and overall fitness.

AMRA’s current research and application areas include Obesity, CVD, Diabetes, NAFLD/NASH, Oncology, Sarcopenia, Cachexia, CNS/Neuromuscular and Musculoskeletal Disorders, and Rare Diseases - in both adult and pediatric populations. Our Vision is a new, fundamental way of thinking about health. We provide knowledge to the medical community so that every individual can become — and stay — healthy.
