TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 29, 2009) -

Attention: Business/Financial Editors

GE Healthcare's (NYSE:GE) Vascular Ultrasound group and The Medipattern Corporation (TSX VENTURE:MKI) are pleased to announce their plan to collaborate in the creation of Ultrasound-based Vascular Imaging Quantification Tools (Vascular iQTM). GE Healthcare and Medipattern confirmed their plans to collaborate by signing a definitive collaboration agreement. Medipattern will leverage technology developed in its CadenzaTM algorithm platform and extend it with additional functionality to create Vascular iQ. Medipattern will create a generalized version of the vascular product while building an exclusive version for GE Healthcare ultrasound systems, which will be available to the market through GE's well-established distribution to clinicians around the world.

"GE Healthcare's Vascular Ultrasound team is committed to developing new technology to image and analyze vascular disease, increasing diagnostic confidence, and speeding patient treatment," said Michael Arbaugh, GE Healthcare General Manager of GE Healthcare's Vascular Ultrasound division. "Our investment in dedicated vascular expertise, support of vascular education, and unique vascular technologies are evidence of this commitment. GE is actively developing new ultrasound products to capture distinctive diagnostic images."

"Medipattern is GE's partner in breast ultrasound, providing its innovative CAD to support early detection of breast cancer," Arbaugh said. "Medipattern has proven to be a valued partner and we have invited them to join us in our goal to raise analytical understanding of vascular disease. We believe that Medipattern's technology will be very beneficial to improving the outlook for those patients with vascular disease. At GE, vascular imaging goes beyond the acquisition of the images and continues through analysis and reporting to improve clinicians' workflow, with the result being a reduction in time to identify disease and speed treatment to the millions of patients at risk every year."

According to Frost and Sullivan's 2004 U.S. Ultrasound Report, the cardiovascular ultrasound market represented 35 percent of the total ultrasound market in the U.S. This compares to the 2 percent share for breast ultrasound in the same year. The vascular ultrasound market is also forecasted at a steady growth rate of 11 percent per year.

"Entering the vascular ultrasound sector will greatly broaden the market opportunities for Medipattern's software. Our technology platform, Cadenza, has already been proven across imaging modalities with our products in breast ultrasound and breast MRI CAD. Now we plan to go across disease centers by leveraging from breast disease to vascular disease," said Jeff Collins, CEO of The Medipattern Corporation. "Working with GE to deliver Vascular Imaging Quantification Tools through GE's sales channel builds upon the relationship that we have developed for our breast CAD product. Medipattern is pleased to strengthen and extend our association with GE as we enter the vascular CAD market together," Collins concluded.
