Second Purchase Made by New Jersey Imaging Center That Says the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI is Where Doctors and Their Families Go for Their MRI Scans.

MELVILLE, N.Y. -- FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ: FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning(TM), announced today that the Tilton Dynamic Imaging, Northfield, New Jersey, home of the first FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI in New Jersey and one of the most successful FONAR installations in the United States, has become the latest Multi-Purchaser. The second scanner will be installed in Toms River, New Jersey, and be called Ocean Upright MRI. Multi-unit purchases account for approximately one third of all FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI sales. E[acute accent]"We are proud to purchase a second FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI," said Lee Getson, one of the managing partners of Tilton Dynamic Imaging. "With a backdrop of success using FONAR's unique MRI scanner, we are expanding our practice with a second unit that will be installed at a new facility in West Hills Plaza in Tom's River, New Jersey. This will be the first radiology center using the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI in Ocean County." E[acute accent]"There are numerous reasons why we purchased a second FONAR unit," said Norm Brettler, the other managing partner of Tilton Dynamic Imaging. "The centerpiece of our business is the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI. It brings in the patients because of its ability to perform procedures and generate diagnostic data that cannot be obtained from any other MRI. This machine, combined with the level of service we provide, has made us very successful. We have done as many as 500 patients per month without working on weekends. In fact, one day we performed 33 scans." E[acute accent]"One of the most remarkable aspects of this scanner that I have seen," continued Mr. Getson, "is that so many physicians and their families get their MRI scans on the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI at Tilton Dynamic Imaging. Since doctors like it for themselves and their families, then you can bet it's the best MRI around." E[acute accent]Raymond Damadian, president and founder of FONAR said, "It is very rewarding to us to have such a successful customer as that of Tilton Dynamic Imaging. They are among the most successful of the 100 plus FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI sites. This means that many patients and physicians will be able to benefit from this exciting Multi-Position(TM) imaging technology." E[acute accent]"We have found disc pathology in patients who previously have had a negative (no pathology detected) conventional MRI scan, in a rather remarkable percentage of cases," said Allan Cummings, M.D., the Medical Director and a Board Certified Diagnostic Radiologist with over 20 years of experience. "For instance, on a single-position recumbent MRI, it is rare to find disc pathology in the thoracic spine. We frequently see it with the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI." E[acute accent]"Another important aspect, from a radiologist point-of-view," added Dr. Cummings, "is the quality of the images. Our images are excellent. Our spine and shoulder studies are especially excellent." E[acute accent]"Patients come to us because they need a weight-bearing MRI, or because they are claustrophobic or obese," added Mr. Brettler. "That is our market. We have differentiated ourselves from the others because we can do something else that no one else can." E[acute accent]"The weight-bearing and Multi-Position(TM) abilities of this MRI are very significant," added Mr. Brettler. "After all, if the Radiologist cannot see the pathology responsible for pain, then it doesn't matter if it is a 3 Tesla or 9 Tesla magnet, you just won't be able to see it. For the same fee, our patients get the most from the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI.

E[acute accent]About FONAR

E[acute accent]FONAR(R) was incorporated in 1978, making it the first, oldest and most experienced MRI manufacturer in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. Since its inception, FONAR has installed hundreds of MRI scanners worldwide. Their stellar product line includes the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI (also known as the Upright(TM) MRI and the Stand-Up(TM) MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Multi-Position(TM) Imaging (mpMRI(TM)) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI often sees the patient's problem that other scanners cannot because they are single-position, lie-down only. With nearly one-half million patients scanned, the patient-friendly FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI has a near zero claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. A radiologist said, "FONAR Upright(TM) MRI - No More Claustrophobia - The Tunnel Is Gone." As another FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while they watch a 42" flat screen TV. FONAR's latest MRI scanner is the FONAR 360(TM), a room-size recumbent scanner that optimizes openness while facilitating physician access to the patient. FONAR is headquartered on Long Island, New York, and has approximately 400 employees.
