Swedish image analysis software developer AMRA Medical is collaborating with the National University of Singapore's Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine on a study aimed at improving the understanding of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The project will contribute to Singapore's Ensemble of Multi-disciplinary Systems and Integrated Omics for NAFLD (EMULSION) national research platform for modeling NAFLD in Singaporean and Asian populations, AMRA said. The university's researchers will utilize AMRA's rapid MRI and automated image analysis methodology to classify and quantify body measurements such as whole-body and localized fat volumes, fat fractions, and lean tissue volumes, according to the vendor.
