National Heart Centre Singapore launches Centre for Advanced Metabolic Imaging

The CAMI will focus on analysing fat distribution patterns unique to Asian populations.

The National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) has launched the Centre for Advanced Metabolic Imaging (CAMI) to study metabolic health and its impact on heart disease.

The CAMI will focus on analysing fat distribution patterns unique to Asian populations, which differ significantly from those observed in other ethnic groups, NHCS said.

The centre utilises magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide high-resolution images of fat distribution in the body, including visceral fat around vital organs, which is closely linked to cardiovascular risks.

It also features the Carbon-13 Hyperpolariser that enhances the sensitivity of metabolic imaging by over 10,000-fold.

The tech allows real-time tracking of sugar metabolism for detailed insights into how different organs process nutrients into energy.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
