Body composition analysis offers insights into the quality of weight loss and patient health. These powerful tools support decision-making in drug development across a broad spectrum of clinical trials (i.e. obesity, neuromuscular disorders, cancer cachexia).
It is time to look
beyond weight…
Visceral fat
Ectopic fat
Muscle
Organ health
They all matter!
Relevant to support clinical trials in:
Obesity
Liver Disease
T2D
CVD
Muscular Dystrophy
Cancer Cachexia
Sarcopenia
Osteoporosis
Beyond BMI – Body Composition imaging is the new global standard in weight loss clinical trials
We provide neck-to-knee MRI body composition metrics including visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), lean tissue volume, skeletal muscle volume and index, muscle fat infiltration (MFI), and suspected brown adipose tissue (sBAT).
Muscle volume and muscle fat infiltration – critical indicators of quality weight loss and overall health
Ectopic fat – impairs organ health and is one of major factors in cardiometabolic disease development
End-to-end imaging services
Our body composition analysis and organ health image offers insights into weight loss and patient health. These powerful tools support decision-making and trial design in drug development across a broader spectrum of clinical trials.
Our offering includes MRI body composition, MRI multi-organ ectopic fat and full-body DEXA assessment, which are fully customisable to your trial needs.
