About FONAR:
FONAR, The Inventor
of MR Scanning™, located in Melville, NY, was incorporated
in 1978 and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI company
in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial
MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. FONAR's signature product
is the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known
as the STAND-UP® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs
Position™ imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous
weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and
extension, as well as in the conventional lie-down position. The
FONAR UPRIGHT®
MRI often detects patient problems that other MRI scanners
cannot because they are lie-down and "weightless-only"
scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero
claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. Regarding patient comfort,
as one FONAR customer stated, "If the patient is claustrophobic
in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot."
Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while watching
TV.
UPRIGHT® and STAND-UP® are registered trademarks and The Inventor of MR Scanning™, Full Range of Motion™, Multi-Position™, Upright Radiology™, The Proof is in the Picture™, True Flow™, pMRI™, Spondylography™, Dynamic™,
