FONAR is a pioneering brand that has been at the forefront of MRI technology since its incorporation in 1978. As the first and oldest MR manufacturer in the industry, FONAR has a wealth of experience and expertise. They introduced the world's first commercial MRI scanner in 1980 and went public in 1981.

FONAR's patented iron-core technology, introduced in 1982, serves as the foundation for all Open MRI scanners. In addition, they revolutionized medical imaging with the invention of Oblique Imaging in 1984, allowing for the production of multiple images from any angle. One of FONAR's most notable innovations is the Stand-Up™ MRI, launched in 1996.

It is the only whole-body MRI scanner capable of performing Position Imaging™, enabling scans in weight-bearing postures. This unique design offers a spacious and non-claustrophobic experience for patients, with no obstructions in front of their faces. In fact, patients can comfortably watch a 42” TV during the scanning procedure.

FONAR's commitment to advancing medical technology extends beyond MRI manufacturing. They have a subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA), which manages diagnostic imaging centers and multi-specialty practices. This synergy enhances their capabilities and potential.

With a track record of groundbreaking innovations and a dedication to exceptional patient care, FONAR continues to shape the future of MRI technology. Contact them today to experience their state-of-the-art products and services
