MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ:FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, announced today, that the April 23, 2007 issue of the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging featured an article entitled 'Upright MRI of glenohumeral dysplasia following obstetric brachial plexus injury'. In layman’s terms, the study evaluated the effectiveness of Upright(TM) MRI imaging for the diagnosis of a particular deformity in a child’s shoulder (glenohumeral dysplasia), which occurs as the result of an injury known as Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury (OBPI), also known as Erb's palsy. The authors conclude that “Upright MRI could, thus, serve as the standard procedure of care in pediatric obstetric brachial plexus population for glenohumeral imaging.” The study, which included 89 children, ages 0.4 to 17.9 years, with OBPI, was conducted on a FONAR UPRIGHT™ Multi-Position™ MRI operating at Natural MRI in Houston.
