Measuring Muscles with Quantitative MRI: New Study Published in Neurology Expands the Evidence for Using MRI Biomarkers in SBMA
AMRA Medical is pleased to announce the publication of new research in Neurology demonstrating the potential of quantitative whole-body MRI to measure disease progression in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA), a rare, progressive neuromuscular disease. The research was also selected for the cover of the issue, providing additional visibility for this important work in neuromuscular disease research.

The manuscript, titled “Muscle MRI as an imaging biomarker of muscle damage in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy” highlights how MRI-based muscle composition biomarkers can provide sensitive and objective measures of disease-related change over time. With AMRAⓇ Researcher, the study evaluated 25 participants with SBMA to investigate the ability of fat-referenced MRI to assess changes in muscle composition. Using quantitative whole-body MRI, researchers measured longitudinal changes in muscle composition and examined their relationship to established clinical assessments of disease severity and function.
