INVENTOR OF MRI TO ATTEND OPEN HOUSE

PALM HARBOR, FL. - February 4, 2002 - Rose Radiology Centers, Inc. (RRC), the home of Florida's 1st Stand-Up, "High-Field" Open MRI, announced that it will hold its first Open House on Thursday, February 21, 2002 at The Imaging Center at Boot Ranch, 4133 Woodlands Parkway, Palm Harbor.

The Open House will run from 5:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. The evening will feature tours of the Imaging Centers' more than 8,000 square feet of state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment.

Raymond Damadian, M.D., inventor of the MRI, is scheduled to attend the Open House which will show-case the latest in MRI equipment from his corporation, FONAR. This MRI, named "Indomitable™" is the first MRI in the world capable of securing images of patients in a seated or standing position.

"We are quickly accumulating cases whose symptoms could not be diagnosed until they were scanned upright. Once diagnosed, those patients were successfully treated surgically with marked relief of their symptoms," said Dr. Damadian.

With nothing over the patient's head or in front of their face, the Stand-up MRI's™ unique design is by far the most non-claustrophobic MRI on the market. Patients have found the Stand- up MRI™ reassuring and easy to accommodate. Operating at 0.6 Tesla, making it among the most powerful Open MRI's available today, the Stand- up MRI™ boasts an unbeatable combination of resolution, contrast and speed.
