# Springbok Analytics

> Springbok Analytics is a Charlottesville, Virginia AI company spun out of the University of Virginia that turns standard 2D MRI scans into precise, interactive 3D maps of the musculoskeletal system. Its FDA-cleared platform quantifies up to ~140 individual muscles - measuring volume, fat infiltration, asymmetry, scar tissue, edema and tendon morphology - to create a 'digital muscle twin' used by elite sports teams, clinical researchers, and longevity programs to assess injury risk, track rehab, and monitor age-related muscle change.

- **Founded:** 2016
- **Headquarters:** Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
- **Founders:** Scott Magargee (CEO & Co-Founder), Silvia Blemker (Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer), Craig Meyer (Co-Founder), Joe Hart (Co-Founder)
