FONAR's 23rd Stand-Up MRI Installed in Texas Meets Special Needs of Children Tuesday November 18, 1:00 am ET MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2003--FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The MRI Specialist(TM), announced today the installation of its 23rd Stand-Up(TM) MRI. This unit, FONAR's Upright(TM) imaging system, has been installed at South Texas Imaging Center, LLC, located at 1814 East Griffing Parkway in Mission, Texas (956-581-9729). South Texas Imaging Center is operated by Allan Kapilivsky, M.D., a board-certified radiologist. Since its opening in April 2003, the imaging center has scanned an unusually large number of children. "There is nothing more distressing for a parent than a sick child," said Dr. Kapilivsky. "Many times a pediatrician is unable to diagnose problems without the help of an MRI exam. This, however, can be an intimidating experience for a child because MRI machines can be very confining and make all kinds of loud, disturbing noises. To make matters worse, the child may require an injection, and very often a child requires sedation or anesthesia, increasing risk." "Fortunately, at South Texas Imaging, we are a well-prepared, caring, medical practice, with highly trained medical staff," said Dr. Kapilivsky. "We have acquired the latest radiology technology, the FONAR Stand-Up(TM) MRI. It is the only truly Open MRI available as there is nothing in front of the child's face. The Stand-Up(TM) MRI is user friendly, with a tilting table that can accommodate patients of all sizes. The table moves and reclines, so MRI studies can be done with the patient standing up, sitting down or lying down, as needed. Parents are encouraged to stay in the room with their children during the exam."
