EUROPEAN CANCER CENTER UNVEILS CT LASER MAMMOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, December 14, 2005—Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc., (OTCBB:IMDS) reported that that the CT Laser Mammography (CTLM®) system was officially introduced to the Polish medical community and public at the opening ceremonies of the Center of Prophylactic and Early Cancer Diagnosis at the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of Oncology on November 16th, 2005, in Gliwice, Poland.
Professor Boguslaw Maciejewski, MD, PhD, FACR, Director of the Institute of Oncology, began the day-long program with a press conference featuring a panel of oncology physicians and industry leaders. The panel stressed the capabilities of the Polish Institute of Oncology, especially the Gliwice Branch, which was recently updated with the latest innovations. Panel member Tim Hansen, IDSI Chief Executive Officer, spoke about the CTLM system’s advanced technologies. The interview was followed by a public grand opening conference and ceremony featuring the panel members.
Hosted tours of the Center highlighted many cutting-edge modalities. Several ribbon-cutting ceremonies unveiled advances in MRI imaging, radiation treatment planning, ultrasound, and CT Laser Mammography, among others.
“The Institute of Oncology is our premiere reference site in Europe, featuring two CTLM systems and a significant patient caseload,” commented Hansen. “They have completed over 1,500 laser mammography patient studies and serve over 7 million people in their region. Our partnership with the Institute enables us to explore routine diagnostic CTLM imaging as well as applications in oncology. Our research areas involve innovative studies, such as CTLM applicability to estimation of tumor regression rates and local tumor clearance, as well as correlations between CTLM and mammography images with molecular biomarkers. Through our collaboration, we are gaining valuable insights; we look forward to seeing the Center publish their findings.”
The ceremony and CTLM debut was broadcast on television and radio stations throughout Poland, along with interviews with Professor Maciejewski that discussed breast studies and new diagnostic and screening capabilities in the Gliwice region. An educational program on new techniques in breast imaging, highlighting the CTLM system, is also being developed, with the help of EDOMED, IDSI’s exclusive distributor in Poland. The 30-minute program is scheduled to air on December 22nd on Poland’s national television station, TVP1.
The Institute of Oncology, a Comprehensive Cancer Center, has been registered by the Organization of European Cancer Institutes (O.E.C.I.) as a European Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Excellence since 2002.

CT LASER MAMMOGRAPHY RESULTS SHOWN AT MAJOR RADIOLOGICAL MEETING
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, December 8, 2005—Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc., (OTCBB:IMDS) announced good commercial and clinical response to international clinical results shown at RSNA 2005, the 91st Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. RSNA is IDSI’s major event of the year, a forum in which to present clinical results, work-in-progress, and international commercial results to more than 60,000 attendees.
IDSI featured results from its exclusive CT Laser Mammography (CTLM®) scanner and highlighted its leadership in laser optical mammography technology by exhibiting select clinical cases from the more than 6,000 studies that have been completed worldwide.
“We presented cases from many of our luminary and partner sites which showed CTLM results in the context of complete cases worked up with mammography, ultrasound, breast MRI, and biopsy results,” explained Eric Milne, MD, FRCR, FRCP, IDSI Director of Clinical Research. “The comparisons were particularly useful to illustrate the adjunctive value of imaging the angiogenesis processes with passive CT laser technologies.”
Tim Hansen, IDSI Chief Executive Officer stated, “We were extremely pleased to have garnered such great interest in our revolutionary new modality and our approach to detecting and managing breast cancer. Our users presented compelling clinical results, our international distributors brought in attentive and interested prospects, and we received serious attention from university-level radiologists who are beginning to understand the key role CTLM may play in multimodality breast cancer case management.”
Commented Dr. Milne, “The acceptance of our non-invasive optical method of detecting angiogenesis in breast cancer, which we have been developing and promulgating for close to ten years, has been confirmed at this year’s RSNA meeting by the virtual ‘explosion’ in technical developments of MRI of the breast, designed to image angiogenesis, and in the many papers presented on angiogenesis in breast cancer.”
IDSI also received international media attention, providing interviews to German and American publications as well as Australian television.
