The History of Stand-Up MRI
Stand-Up MRI traces its roots back to the groundbreaking work of Dr. Raymond Damadian, widely recognized for his pivotal role in the development and invention of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Known as the Father of MRI, Dr. Damadian’s pioneering research and vision revolutionized diagnostic imaging, transforming the way physicians and patients approach medical diagnostics. The first imaging facilities established by Dr. Damadian later evolved into the Stand-Up MRI centers, which have steadily expanded in size and reputation over the years.
Drawing on this remarkable heritage, Stand-Up MRI has grown into one of the industry’s leading providers of outpatient MRI services. Our commitment to continual innovation led us to embrace the “Stand-Up” Upright MRI concept, which offers patients greater comfort, improved access for those with mobility challenges, and enhanced diagnostic capabilities in weight-bearing scenarios. From our beginnings in New York to our flourishing locations in Florida, we have continued to build on Dr. Damadian’s legacy by investing in state-of-the-art equipment, assembling expert clinical teams, and consistently delivering a patient-centered approach to imaging.
Today, Stand-Up MRI stands at the forefront of outpatient MRI services, offering a range of advanced imaging options and convenience-focused care. Our ongoing mission is to honor the pioneering spirit of Dr. Damadian, whose original vision laid the groundwork for our success, by elevating patient care and continually seeking new avenues to improve diagnostic imaging.
