MELVILLE, NEW YORK, September 1, 2005 - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The MRI Specialist™, announced today the sale of a second Upright™ MRI to Moshe Allon, M.D. Dr. Allon, a prominent Texas Neurologist and Specialist in Pain Management, said, "the addition of a second FONAR Upright™ MRI (Stand- Up™ MRI) to my practice is an obvious choice because of its huge benefit to patient care. It helps me to be a better physician." One out of three customers are repeat buyers of the Upright™ MRI.
          "For more than a decade I have referred patients to MRIs as part of my practice," said Dr. Allon. "While the
images were always magnificent, they only scanned my patients comfortably lying down on their back. From speaking with many patients and looking at the images, I always suspected that something was missing in a recumbent-only MRI."
          "Now we have seen a revolution in magnet design that makes Position™ Imaging (pMRI™) possible," continued Dr. Allon. "I have owned my first Upright™ MRI for over 2 years, but from the very beginning I could see how this MRI would most certainly help my patients. This new technology allows the patient to be imaged in the position necessary to provide the most accurate assessment of their problem and make the most accurate diagnosis."
          "I ask my patients to be a little uncomfortable and be scanned in the position closest to the position that produces pain but just sort of the position that actually engenders the pain. By this means we are able to obtain the most COMPLETE picture of their injury," added Dr. Allon. "When doing a spine study, we usually scan them in the Upright™ neutral position, in the flexion position, in the extension position and often in the lateral bending position. This allows me to make a far more comprehensive and accurate evaluation of my patient's condition than is possible with a recumbent only MRI, and enables me to prescribe and execute more effective treatment."
          "Let me give you an example," continued Dr. Allon. "I performed a lumbar scan on a patient in the Upright™ neutral position, in the Upright™ flexion position and in the Upright™ extension position and found substantial pathology on the images. The patient went to a surgeon who was unfamiliar with the benefits of Upright™ imaging in visualizing the pathology of the patient with back pain. He sent the patient to a modern 1.5 Tesla MRI for a second look. The images from the 1.5 T MRI were fine but they showed very little pathology. The surgeon compared the pathology visualized on the Upright™ MRI with the 1.5 T images that didn't "see it". The surgeon proceeded with surgery directed at correcting the pathology visualized by the Upright™ weight-bearing scans and achieved a successful surgical result and a healed patient. This is why I am able to say that the Upright™ MRI makes me a better doctor for my patients."
          "The surgeon now sends me patients regularly because the Upright™ MRI has given him better surgical outcomes for his patients," explained Dr. Allon. "It doesn't matter if the recumbent MRI is 1.5 Tesla, 10 Tesla or 100 Tesla. If the Upright™ weight-loading in the patient's customary physiologic position is necessary to provoke the disk herniation responsible for the patient's pain and make it visible, no amount of magnetic field will make it herniate so it can be seen. If the surgeon can't see it, he can't fix it. Only in the Upright™ MRI can you see the complete pathology that is often missed in the recumbent-only scanner."
          "There are many compelling reasons why I purchased a second Upright™ MRI," continued Dr. Allon. "I see lots of patients on a daily basis. With the Upright™ MRI we do not miss the problem. We scan them in their
"near-pain" position. We see the true picture. We tell the patient if we don't see the nerve impingement, they don't have it. This helps the person to seek the best treatment or the best alternative so he can move forward with his life."
          The Stand-Up MRI of Clear Lake is located at 1202 Nasa Parkway, Nassau Bay, Texas, telephone (281) 335-0505. For ten years Dr. Allon has been in practice at The Neurology, Headache and Pain Control Center, located at 1234 Nasa Parkway, Nassau Bay, Texas. These practices are on the east side of the greater Houston area and Dr. Allon wishes to serve his patients on the west side of Houston where his second Upright™ MRI center will be located.
