FONAR's European Distributor
Sells a
3rd FONAR UPRIGHT
Multi-Position MRI in Germany
MELVILLE,
NEW YORK, October 24, 2007 - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR),
The
Inventor of MR Scanning announced today that a third FONAR
UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI has been sold in Germany.
The unit is expected to be installed early next year in a diagnostic
outpatient facility in the city of Munich. This is the fourth
FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI sold by Tecserena
GmbH, FONAR’s European distributor since 2006.
FONAR
has now reported 161 UPRIGHT® MRI scanners sold, with eleven
occurring during the quarter ending September 30, 2007. In a
September 28, 2007 press release, Dr. Raymond Damadian, president
and founder of FONAR said, "In addition, we are receiving
UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI orders in the first quarter
of Fiscal 2008 at one of the highest levels we have experienced
since the product was introduced." It is notable that only
three (3) quarterly totals have topped this number since FONAR
began selling the UPRIGHT® MRI in October, 2000.
The
first unit in Germany was installed in Cologne in February 2006.
On June 13, 2007, Dr. Raymond Damadian, helped dedicate the UPRIGHT® MRI
facility at Hanover by speaking to the gathered medical audience
at the grand opening.
Alfred
Schlemmer, managing director of Tecserena, said, “Both
the Hanover and Cologne UPRIGHT® MRI centers have been very
busy and we have been able to turn their successes into a third
sale in Munich. However, the most compelling aspect of this scanner
is its ability to see the body in its dynamic and functional
state. Our growing base of referring physicians are very delighted
with the capabilities and image quality of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI.”
Mr. Schlemmer continued, “The
FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is a most unique MRI scanner. We
firmly believe that it will become a standard in MRI diagnostics in Europe, especially
of the spine. No other medical diagnostic product can put together in one scanner
the detailed imaging of an MRI with the capability to image in any position that
the patient can get into. Our basic marketing strategy is to educate the medical
community about the unique diagnostic capabilities of the FONAR unit. Once the
marketplace understands them, sales follow."
Dr. Damadian said, “Nothing
is more gratifying than a customer who has actually used your product and wants
to buy more!”
