NOCISCAN-Lumbar Spine (LS) Clinical Evaluation Study

The investigational Nociscan Suite is a software suite that works with existing high field MR systems and MRS pulse sequence via and optimized protocol to conduct MRS exam of lumbar discs. The software suite post-processes the NOCISCAN-LS disc MRS exam data to calculate ratios of spectroscopic signals at regions along the MRS frequency spectrum associated with certain chemicals that change with degeneration and pain
