Aclarion partnered with John Keller, MD, in its first deal in Michigan, according to an Aug. 14 news release.
Aclarion's Nociscan will be available at Sheridan (Mich.) Community Hospital, and it is the first institution in the state to have the software. Nociscan uses artificial intelligence to help pinpoint the source of chronic lower back pain.
"As I work through how to best treat my patients, I’m excited to work with Sheridan Hospital and Nociscan to continue to develop safe, noninvasive, and cost-effective tools to help in the precise identification of disc pain," Dr. Keller said. "Building upon the evidence that is already mounting in favor of using MR spectroscopy and Nociscan is important work that I’m enthusiastic to undertake."
Dr. Keller is a spinal neurosurgeon with Great Lakes Neurosurgical in Grand Rapids, Mich., and he has privileges at Sheridan Community Hospital.
