ROSE RADIOLOGY ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR NEW SARASOTA CENTER

SARASOTA, FLORIDA, April 5, 2004 – Rose Radiology is proud to announce the opening of our fourth state-of-the-art radiology facility, which will be located at 4917 Clark Road in Sarasota, Florida. Our newest facility will include the FONAR Stand-Up™ MRI, 16-Slice CT, X-Ray, Mammography, PET, C-Arm fluoroscopy and Ultrasound.

Rose Radiology is unlike any other radiology center because we offer the latest in imaging technology. The Stand-up MRI is the only MRI in the country capable of imaging patients in multiple positions, including sitting, standing, flexion or extension. This technology allows us to scan patients in their position of pain. With nothing over the patient’s head or face, the unique design of the Stand-Up MRI is by far the most non-claustrophobic MRI on the market.

Dr. Manuel S. Rose, who is Medical Director of Rose Radiology, stated “The new Sarasota center will be the most advanced radiology center on the West Coast of Florida, with the Stand-Up MRI being its most revolutionary component. This will be a full modality, state of the art Center.” Operating at 0.6 Tesla the Stand-Up MRI is one of the most powerful open MRI’s available today.

Ground breaking for the center is scheduled to begin in early May and Rose Radiology is expecting completion of the project in August of 2004.
