RSNA
2005
The RSNA 2005 meeting attracted approximately 60,000
heathcare decision-makers from all over the world, including
radiologists and other imaging professionals.The mission
of the Radiological Society of North America is to promote
and develop the highest standards of radiology and related
sciences through education and research.
The FONAR exhibit, which is regularly among the larger
in the show, featured a full-size model of the Upright™
MRI with a fully operational patient handling system
located at the center of the Company’s highly
attractive 80’ by 80’ exhibit. |

Francis W. Smith, M.D. of the University
of Aberdeen in Scotland and pioneer in the field of
magnetic resonance imaging was one of the keynote speakers
at the FONAR exhibit.
Dr. Smith said, “We have scanned
thousands of patients in a multitude of positions and
have completed several clinical studies using our FONAR
Upright™ MRI. We routinely scan spines in five
positions, -- normal, upright, in flexion, in extension,
rotation, and laterally - none of which can be duplicated
on any other MRI scanner. Our diagnoses are based upon
the full complement of information derived from all
the important spinal postures, and we subsequently monitor
every patient’s treatment and progress. I can
say unequivocally that Position™ imaging improves
patient outcome.”
