Health Trends
UPRIGHT MRI’s The New Trend in Radiology
By Lou Acosta

Doctor Joseph A. Girgis and Doctor Victor J. Trzeciak

As an MRI recipient I’ve had the opportunity to go into the cave-like coffen tunnel to pose for MRI images three times. The first time I was stuck at
shoulder length, the second and third time I was drugged. I tolded myself that I would probably skip MRI’s from now on since it caused so much anxi-
ety in my life, then I heard about an upright MRI machine used in New Jersey and Philadelphia. Athena D. Merrit wrote in the Philadelhia Business
Journal that patients were climbing into the new upright magnetic resonance imaging machine at University Dynamic MRI at a turnstile-like rate of
150 scans per month between April and June. Those who are claustrophobic or overweight are drawn to the machine because of its design, which has
a larger and less confining “tunnel” than traditional MRIs, said Dr. George Rodriguez, director of Philadelphia-based University Dynamic. The rehab
center paid between $1.5 million and $2 million and waited eight weeks to buy and install what Rodriguez refers to as one of the best MRI machines
available. Patients will soon have access to another upright MRI, which allows them to have images done in positions that induce their pain, such as
kneeling and standing, at a second location at Grant Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard. Those offices are just some of the many freestanding sites that
are popping up across the country, fulfilling an increasing demand for MRI scans. The images can detect such problems as cancer, strokes, joint pain
and muscle tears. With millions of scans and X-Rays done annually, how many of the traditional machines have actually failed or given faulty diagnosis
for patients.

A National Cancer Institute (NCI) Report shows a 70% higher risk of breast cancer for women with scoliosis due to abnormal curvature of the spine,
who were exposed to multiple diagnostic X-rays during childhood and adolescence. These women may be at increased risk of dying of breast cancer.”
The report goes on to say that “although radiation exposures to breast tissue are much lower today than during the time period covered by this study,
they are not insignificant.” Scoliosis affects 2-3% of the population or an estimated 6 million people in the United States, according to the National Sco-
liosis Foundation (www.scoliosis.org)

Raymond Damadian, M.D., president and founder of FONAR, a company that manufactures Upright MRI’s said, “I’m delighted to announce our inven-
tion for the radiation-free evaluation of scoliosis with the FONAR Dynamic™ UPRIGHT® MRI. An accurate evaluation of scoliosis requires the patient to
be upright. A conventional recumbent-only static MRI cannot meet this need. Of critical importance, our radiation-free application can be performed in
the same amount of time and at the same cost as diagnosis and monitoring by X-ray.”

Even former Miami Dolphins field
goal kicker Garo Yepremian, has
been pushing Upright MRI’s.
“As a retired athlete,” said Mr.
Yepremian, “I am very familiar
with MRI scanners and never
liked being placed into the MRI
‘tube’. Even the so-called ‘Open’
MRI where the magnet is just
inches from your face is only a
little better. When FONAR invited
me to New York to be scanned in
their new Upright™ MRI scanner,
I was not only surprised but ex-
cited. I sat down and watched TV
while being scanned. It was quiet
and comfortable and the pictures
were clear and precise. I am
very appreciative of Dr. Raymond
Damadian and all at FONAR
who designed and developed
this amazing MRI scanner. I
have been touting it all over ever
since!”

David Terry, Sr. Vice President,
and coordinator of FONAR’s
Sports program says “We have
an opportunity to introduce our
product to a special group of peo-
ple, the sports celebrity, and the
people who attend these events
with the celebrities. “Football was
an obvious area to start since
there are a lot of big men in the
NFL and 500 pound patients have
been scanned in the Upright™
MRI,” continued Mr. Terry. “Ath-
letes from all sports are encour-
aged to try our scanner when they
need an MRI.

If at 200 lbs., I can get stuck in a
regular MRI machine and feel suf-
focated, what about a person over
250lbs. I say this because most
of my 15 year old son’s friends
that play football weigh at least
200lbs. or more. In researching
our immediate area I’ve found
that Cleveland Clinic has put in
a new MRI machine in the Fam-
ily Health Center in Lorain, and
they have an open MRI in West-
lake, but Superior Medical Care
in Sheffield Village has one of
the new FONAR’s Upright™ MRI.
Many insurance programs have to
get approvals before they consent
to, so make sure that you check
with them before you make any
arrangements. LA LCM.

Should Your Teenage Child Become a Fashion
Model Next Month:
Are the parent of a teenager? If you are, have you ever been asked by
your teen to be a fashion model? While a large number of teens who • Dry Skin Lotions, Do Any of them Really

shows, like ones that may be run by local fashion designers or local

are important questions that you may want to get answers to be-
cause it may actually mean the difference between a yes and a no an-
swer. Teens who aim high as fashion models likely have a lot of drive
and ambition; unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to make it as a
professional teen fashion model. That is just something that you may
want to keep in mind. Another factor that you may want to take into
consideration is the type of fashions that your teen would be mod-
eling. This may be a little bit hard to determine if they haven’t yet
lined up any appearances, but it still something that you will want
to take into consideration. Teen fashions include a wide range of
clothing pieces. There are swimwear pieces that are often modeled,
as well as summer clothes, and so forth. If they want to go further
than a local show then they need to get professional photographs of
them taken, as well as the hiring of an agent. The only thing that you
need to do is be careful with who you choose to work with. With the
recent interest in teen and child models, many parents are getting
scammed by unsavory individuals. Do the proper research first and
you shouldn’t have any troubles trying to get your teen into model-
ing. The above mentioned factors are just a few of the many that you
may want to take into consideration, should your teenager ask about
becoming a teen model. As previously mentioned, working as a teen
model is a great way to prepare your child for working in the real
world, but it is a decision that should be made by the whole family
