We’re proud to share the publication of a new paper in the Journal of Abdominal Radiology on automated MRI quantification of body fat and skeletal muscle.
Study highlights:
✅ For clinicians:
A rapid, single-slice assessment of body fat and muscle, strongly correlated with gold-standard volumetric measures, to support routine monitoring, triage, and decision-making.
💊 For pharma:
Trial-ready volumetric MRI biomarkers for body composition, validated against expert manual segmentations and interchangeable across methods and vendors, enabling objective, scalable endpoints in obesity, cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal trials
👏 Congratulations to Magdalena Nowak, Luis Núñez, Charles E. Hill, Tim Pagliaro, John McGonigle, Marili Niglas, Camilo Bell-Bradford, Matthew Robson, Helena Thomaides Brears, E. Louise Thomas, and Jimmy D. Bell on this important contribution.

Very proud of Matilda organising this in memory of her grandma. Music made such a difference to my Mum, especially in the latter stages of her dementia. Singing ‘you are my sunshine’ calmed her and brought her back to us. Will be thinking of her tomorrow.
