MELVILLE, NEW YORK, July 1, 2008 - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™ announced it has sold an UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI to Advanced Imaging Concepts of Brooksville, Florida. The co-owners are Dr. Aruna Medara, M.D. and Dr. Naveen Bikkasani, M.D. Both are board-certified and fellowship-trained radiologists. Dr. Bikkasani is also a board-certified interventional radiologist.
          Dr. Bikkasani said, "When we became aware of the benefits of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI, we realized that it was necessary to obtain this cutting-edge equipment to maintain our position as the most advanced practice in the area. An organizational tenet of Advanced Imaging Concepts has been to be a full-service radiology practice with the most advanced medical equipment and the most highly trained radiologists. This strategic design enables us to provide the best possible patient care."
          Advanced Imaging Concepts currently offers 1.5 Tesla MRI, CT, PET, Ultrasound, DEXA bone density evaluation, Mammography, PICC Lines, Fetal photos, Nuclear Medicine, Digital Fluoroscopy, X-Ray, and Interventional Radiology.

           Dr. Medara said, "The UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI from FONAR has several advantages that our current, brand new, high-field MRI does not have. The image quality from the UPRIGHT® MRI is as extraordinary as our high-field MRI. According to the abundant literature that I have reviewed, the advantage of being able to scan the patient in the position of his or her symptomatology can often be the difference between an accurate and inaccurate diagnosis."
          Dr. Medara continued, "We see many patients with chronic back pain where current medical testing is often
inconclusive. So with the UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI, and its ability to image the patient in the weight-bearing posture, we are adding significantly to our reputation of offering the most advanced imaging equipment available to both our patients and their physicians."
          Dr. Bikkasani added, "The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is also the first medical device that will be able to scan and monitor children for scoliosis without repeated exposure to X-rays, which as reported
by the National Cancer Institute increases the risk of developing breast cancer by 70% (www.cancer.gov/newscenter/scoliosis2000) and at about the same cost as an X-Ray exam. This is a major breakthrough for the scoliosis community. According to the National Scoliosis Foundation (www.scoliosis.org), scoliosis affects 2-3% of the population, or an estimated 6 million people in the United States. We are looking forwards to servicing the needs of Hernando County with the UPRIGHT® Multi-Position(TM) MRI from FONAR.
