MELVILLE, NY--(Marketwired - Oct 28, 2014) - Fonar Corporation (
The UPRIGHT® MRI will be placed in the city of Frankfurt. This will join the cities of Cologne, Hanover, Munich, and Hamburg that currently have the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI. Medserena CEO Matthias Schulz has said, "A large number of requests for the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI are coming from physicians in Germany because of the special medical need for FONAR's unique technology. This is in spite of an intensely active MRI market in Germany, where there are already many conventional lie-down MRIs installed."
Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., president and founder of Fonar Corporation, said, "I am pleased to announce this fifth sale of the UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI to our German customer. It is good to see that there is still robust interest for our scanner in the MRI marketplace."
Dr. Damadian continued, "We have now had a third press release during the month of October featuring sales of our UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI. Sales of the scanner are a good complement to our subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America (HMCA), which manages diagnostic imaging centers which have the FONAR UPRIGHT® (Stand-Up®) MRI.
"The FONAR UPRIGHT® weight-bearing MRI technology and its critical role in optimizing outcomes from spine surgery, provides unduplicated benefits in assessing the position dependence of patient symptoms. The UPRIGHT® MRI's ability to make MRI motion pictures (cinés) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as it flows into and out of the upright brain and spine enables visualization of obstructions of CSF flow not found in other MRIs and leading to new understandings of the genesis of diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS)," said Dr. Damadian.
"The FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI is the only scanner which can properly identify a disease we call the Cranio-Cervical Syndrome," continued Dr. Damadian. "The primary symptomology of the the Cranio-Cervical Syndrome is pressure headaches but there are many variations." For further details visit http://www.fonar.com/news/032813.htm .
"In addition," said Dr. Damadian, "the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI is essential in understanding the impact of whiplash due to a motor vehicle accident."
