Exhibit 31.1

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Raymond V. Damadian, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Fonar Corporation;

2.   Based on my knowledge,  this  quarterly  report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to
     make the statements  made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such
     statements  were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this quarterly report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in this  quarterly  report,  fairly  present  in all
     material respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash
     flows of the  registrant  as of, and for,  the  periods  presented  in this
     quarterly report;

4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
     procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15(e)) for the
     registrant  and internal  control over  financial  reporting (as defined in
     Exchange Act Rules 13(a) - 15(c) and 15d-15(f) for the registrant and have:

     a)   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  or caused  such
          disclosure   controls  over   procedures  to  be  designed   under  my
          supervision  to  ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
          registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period in
          which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     b)   designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused
          such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under my
          supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
          of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
          external  purposes in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
          principles;

     c)   evaluated the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure  controls
          and procedures and presented in this quarterly  report our conclusions
          about the  effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures as
          of the end of the period covered by this report; and

     d)   disclosed  in this  report  any  change in the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
          most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in
          the case of an annual  report)  that has  materially  affected,  or is
          reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and

               The  registrant's   other   certifying   officer(s)  and  I  have
          disclosed,  based on our most recent  evaluation  of internal  control
          over financial reporting,  to the registrant's  auditors and the audit
          committee  of  the   registrant's   board  of  directors  (or  persons
          performing the equivalent functions): (a) all significant deficiencies
          and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control
          over  financial  reporting  which are  reasonably  likely to adversely
          affect the  registrant's  ability to record,  process,  summarize  and
          report financial information; and

     (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting.
