(application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface. Company, announced that it will be participating at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), founded in 1915, has the purpose to "promote and develop the highest standards of radiology and related sciences through education and research". (RSNA RSNA Radiological Society of North America, Inc. RSNA Robust Security Network Association ) next week, November 25-29. The RSNA meeting, the world's largest medical show, will be held in McCormick Place in Chicago. The FONAR exhibit will feature a presentation of the latest clinical results from Indomitable in·dom·i·ta·ble adj. Incapable of being overcome, subdued, or vanquished; unconquerable. [Late Latin indomit (TM), the Stand-Up stand·up or stand-up adj. 1. Standing erect; upright: a standup collar. 2. Taken, done, or used while standing: a standup supper; a standup bar. MRI(TM) by Professor J. Randy Jinkins, MD, a world renowned authority on radiology of the spine. The title of Dr. Jinkins' presentation is "Upright/Weight-Bearing, Dynamic-Kinetic MRI of the Spine: pMRI(TM)/kMRI; An Overview of First Results." He will make the presentation to attending physicians at noon, Monday through Thursday. An open clinical forum on the uses and benefits of Positional MRI(TM) (pMRI(TM)) and Upright/Weight-Bearing, Dynamic-Kinetic MRI (kMRI) will follow. Dr. Jinkins states in his presentation, "The potential relative beneficial aspects of upright, weight-bearing (pMRI(TM)), dynamic kinetic (kMRI) spinal imaging on this system encompass: high resolution images, relatively little MRI artifact, low claustrophobic potential, high table-weight limit, revelation of occult disease dependent on true axial loading (i.e. weight-bearing), unmasking of kinetic-dependent disease, and the ability to scan the patient in the position of clinically relevant pain." Raymond Damadian, president and chairman of FONAR Corporation, said, "We are very pleased to have an MRI scholar and leading authority of international reputation discussing and answering questions about the latest results from FONAR's Stand-Up MRI(TM). Having seen Dr. Jinkins' results, we expect these sessions to generate a great deal of interest in this product. After all, Positional MRI(TM) (pMRI(TM)) is adding an entirely new dimension to the field of diagnostic imaging - exquisite anatomic visualization in the very positions in which the patient may be symptomatic - something never before seen." An abstract on Dr. Jinkins' studies has been published in the journal Revista di Neuroradiologia 14: 135, 2001.
