MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2006--FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ: FONR - News), The Inventor of MR Scanning(TM), announced today the rebranding of the FONAR Upright(TM) MRI as the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI. Based on user feedback, the tremendous value of FONAR's unique product, while it scans patients in the usual recumbent position, is its added ability to scan patients and snap the picture of the patient in their position of pain, whether they experience pain standing, sitting, or bending. This breakthrough Multi-Position(TM) versatility transcends the limitations of the conventional single-position-recumbent MRI's in accuracy of diagnosis by its ability to see the full extent of the patient's pathology which single-position conventional MRIs cannot. As a result, it will lead to fewer failed back surgeries and, by helping surgeons get the surgery right the first time, it is expected to significantly lower insurance costs. These multiple advantages make it a more attractive purchase than a single-position MRI.
