Upright® Multi-Position Weight-Bearing MRI

The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known as the Stand-Up® MRI) is not just for claustrophobic patients. Unfortunately, the overwhelmingly positive responses from patients to the extraordinary patient-friendly environment of the scanner, especially claustrophobic and very large patients , can overshadow the scanner’s most important feature – Multi-Position MRI imaging.
The UPRIGHT® MRI is the only MRI scanner than can scan patients in
any position, including sitting, standing, bending (for flexion and extension)
or lying down. This unmatched feature is made possible by the scanner’s
unique magnet configuration. With the opposing magnetic poles oriented
vertically, the generous space between them accommodates a special motorized
patient bed that can rotate the patient from recumbent to upright.
