ROSE RADIOLOGY ANNOUNCES 2ND "STAND-UP" MRI™ SITE

PALM HARBOR, FLORIDA, May 20, 2002 - Rose Radiology Centers, Inc. announced today that it has signed a contract with FONAR Corporation for a 2nd "Standup" MRI unit to be installed at a site in Brandon before the end of this year.

Dr. Manuel S. Rose, President & Medical Director of Rose Radiology said, "We are seeing numerous cases where pathology is seen only in the sitting or standing position. With the success of our 1st installation here in Palm Harbor, ordering and installing a 2nd machine makes perfect sense. Physicians who are currently referring patients to us have already required us to extend our hours of operation. We had planned to open another facility, the increased demand has moved up our timetable. I believe it's time to provide access to this unique technology to physicians in other parts of the Tampa Bay Area."

"We are already building a substantial portfolio of patient cases where significant pathology has been discovered when the patient is placed in a weight bearing position. These findings are the primary reason why we installed the FONAR MRI in the first place."

The FONAR "Indomitable" is the only MRI in the country capable of imaging patients in multiple positions, including sitting, standing, flexion or extension and recumbent. This technology is critical in imaging patients in their position of pain or discomfort.
