MEDIPATTERN CORP. 
By TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 14, 2011) -
Attention: Business/Financial Editors
The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX VENTURE:MKI - News), a pioneer in the development of medical imaging software solutions that help medical practitioners in better understanding lesions and critical anatomy, is pleased to announce that Ultrasound Solutions Corporation (USC) will market and sell Medipattern's Visualize:Vascular(TM) product in the North East United States. USC is an ultrasound equipment sales and service organization with a sales and distribution network that stretches from Virginia, Ohio, and Michigan through to Maine. USC plans to promote Medipattern's vascular products to new clients as well as its current client base consisting of more than 1,000 accounts including over 650 dedicated cardiovascular practices which are a primary target market for Visualize:Vascular.
Visualize:Vascular performs 3D rendering of the lumen, the inside of the vessel where blood flows, showing the active pathway to the brain in carotid arteries. The maximum and minimum points in the lumen are automatically found and measured using this visualization tool. 3D rendering of the lumen from ultrasound imaging provides relevant additional information to quickly and conveniently assist in assessing the health of a patient's carotid artery in a physician's office environment. In general, 3D rendering is a common procedure with its own recognized Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code.
The product will be offered based on a per-use model. Limited licensed keys will be loaded in standard increments of 15 and 100 uses. Ultrasound Solutions will provide installation for its customers while Medipattern will maintain license updates through a web licensing system. "The initial feedback from our customers indicates that they are all quite enthusiastic about the Visualize:Vascular product," comments Nat Romeo, President and CEO of USC. "Ultrasound is commonly used in cardiovascular offices. Medipattern enables the physicians in each office to see the luminal physiology in 3D which vastly increases understanding. Our customers see that Medipattern has the ability to improve patient care."
"USC is an outstanding service provider, ensuring that their clients are up and running in peak performance. Their excellence in customer service provides them with a very loyal customer base that value USC's input when exploring applications to improve their practice. The USC customer base has been extremely receptive to the introduction of Visualize:Vascular. This product will be very meaningful to their general radiologists, vascular surgeons and cardiologists. We look forward to working with the USC team," commented Jeff Collins, President and CEO of The Medipattern Corporation.
Visualize:Vascular received FDA 510(k) clearance in February, 2011. The product has been in limited clinical use since that time and is now ready for sale with initial shipments expected in June. The company plans a controlled product launch rolling out on a region by region basis beginning this summer.
