MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov 30, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ:FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning(TM), today announced that Jack Shapiro, M.D., a Board certified surgeon from New York, who has performed over 10,000 surgeries during his career, has purchased the FONAR Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI.

Dr. Shapiro said, "Having previously been an owner of MRI scanners, I am well informed on the MRI industry. After evaluating the various MRI scanners, there was a clear and indisputable significance of the FONAR Dynamic(TM) Upright(TM) Multi-Position(TM) MRI over that of a static recumbent single-position MRI. These unique advantages provide surgeons with the full range of physiologic and dynamic evaluation of the spine to assure patients the optimal surgical outcome. The concept of a weight-bearing physiologic scan adds a new dimension to imaging, as well as, diagnoses and treatment."

"I visited the FONAR exhibit at this year's annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)," continued Dr. Shapiro. "On display was the FONAR 360 MRI. Some day it will revolutionize surgery. The use of the FONAR 360 in its intervention mode will provide a solution to Base of Skull Surgeons, providing them with an instant angiogram without having to change operating theatres. It can provide multiple solutions for the neck and spine surgeons utilizing the new dynamic real-time scanning capabilities."
