Advantage of The Fonar Upright®Multi-Position™MRI

Symptom–Specific Positional Scanning

Only the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI ( as well known as the Stand-Up® MRI ) can scan patients in the attitude in which theyexperience problems–sitting , endure , bending , leaning , as good as consist down . All other MRIs can just scan patient lying down . The UPRIGHT® MRI enables the patient to put himself in the position that generate the pain so that image can be develop in that real position . Correctly identifying the pain-generating pathology can markedly improve patient surgical outcomes . In addition , it enable the surgeon to see all the pathology he make to cover , not just the single-position , non-weight-bearing image provided by the conventional MRI . This enable the surgeon to see the full extent to which the disk herniation growth when the patient flexes or extends , or the extent to which the patient´s vertebra is slip back and forth with body position .

Scanning With the Weight of The Body on the Spine and Other Joint

The UPRIGHT® MRI permit all parts of the body to live picture with the normal weight of the body on the spine and other joints–an advantage that can lead to a more accurate diagnosis . Fancy the spine when it cost fully loaded with the weight of the torso , as equate to unload in a conventional lie–down MRI , exist critical to an accurate diagnosis . As you can regard from case report , the source of back problem can equal “ missed ” when the spine cost not bearing the weight of the body and not see in the positions the spine commonly engage .

Whiplash Injuries

There are a growing issue of patients who are sustain dislocations of the cervical spine from automobile collision whiplash injury of the head and neck . The UPRIGHT® MRI is take to measure the extent to which the wit have been dislocated [ origin of the tonsils of the cerebellum ] into the first step in the ass of the skull ( foramen magnum ) . This critical assessment of the extent of brain herniation into the first step at the base of the skull ( cerebellar tonsil ectopia , or CTE ) can just exist determined with the patient in the good place so that the surgical repair of this herniation and the patient ’ s “ cliff attacks ” can exist eliminated .

Special Patient Needs

Some patients are unable to lie down for an MRI exam , including kyphotic patients or hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure . In the absence of UPRIGHT® MRI , these patient would be unable to have the MRI examinations they need .

The UPRIGHT® MRI routinely accommodate large patients , many who merely did not fit into any other MRI . Our patient layer can manage patient matter up to 500 pounds .

Pelvic Floor Dystrophy ( PFD )

Female patient , as a result of the inherent injury of childbirth to their pelvic story flesh , will normally bear the consequences of PFD later in life . The symptom of PFD are cystic prolapsed ( “ falling urinary bladder ” ) and its chronic cystitis symptom of urinary frequency , burn on urination , fever , and if unaddressed , chronic kidney inflammation ( pyelonephritis ) . The patient must be upright to hear it . It normally returns to its normal situation when the patient exist recumbent and therefore is not diagnosed by the patient´s physician who examines her in the recumbent status . It affects 10 million women . The UPRIGHT® MRI promptly visualizes the fall bladder when these patients exist upright , so that the surgeon have full image visualization of the anatomy that hold to be recreate .
