AMRA analyzed abdominal MRI photographs of 90 patients with suspected chronic liver disease. Liver needle biopsies were performed within one hour of MRI for a definitive diagnosis and staged fibrosis: 34 had no alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and 56 had other aetiologies. AMRA, in particular, quantified visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and muscle fat infiltration (MFI) from the spine erects researcher AMRA®, which automates the volumetric evaluation of MAGNETIC resonance photographs.
Researchers found that the NAFLD organization had a VAT (normalized through size) and a particularly higher MFI than other aetiologies and, surprisingly, in patients with NAFLD, a higher MFI with the fibrosis stage, suggesting sarcoponic activity, upper metabolic dysfunction or both. Training
