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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
