Medipattern Reports Unaudited Results for Q1 2011

Company News - Medipattern

Medipattern announced its financial results for its first fiscal quarter of 2011 ended September 30, 2010.

The Medipattern Corporation, a pioneer in the development of medical software solutions that help improve imaging workflow and productivity, announced its financial results for its first fiscal quarter of 2011 ended September 30, 2010.

Jeff Collins, CEO of Medipattern, commented, "Results for Q1 2011 remain much weaker than we anticipated due mainly to the ongoing reimbursement concerns in the US. Revenue for this new software as a service model started to flow in during the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and although B-CAD ® procedural volume is growing quarter over quarter, revenue is not what we anticipated due to lower than expected reimbursement yield per report. Healthcare iQ is continuing to provide reimbursement advice to our customers and to manage denials from payers while gaining acceptance for the B-CAD® procedure. Through our relationship with GE Healthcare we welcome our first B-CAD® installation in Louisiana at the Baton Rouge Clinic. Celebrating 60 years of serving its community, the clinic offers screening and digital mammography, diagnostic breast ultrasound as well as biopsies and even surgical procedures. Baton Rouge Clinic will now include B-CAD® in their diagnostic ultrasound procedures. The clinic offers a full range of general and specialized medical procedures caring for over 250,000 patients per year. We have been working with our partner, PenRad Technologies Inc., to expand CAD for breast ultrasound into their existing installed base as part of our national roll out strategy. We will demonstrate an integrated B-CAD® system with PenRad® at RSNA in their PenView(TM) Mammography Review and Reporting Workstation. This will be the first Mammography Review Station to offer integrated CAD for Mammography, Ultrasound and MRI generating reports compliant with the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Standards."

Collins also remarked, "Our entry into the vascular market remains expected in early calendar 2011 with the release of our Visualize:Vascular(TM) product." Francis Porreca MD, FACS RPVI, director of the Vascular Surgery and Vascular Laboratory at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine discussed his paper, "Carotid Plaque Morphology, New Horizons on Non-invasive Diagnosis," featuring Medipattern's new Visualize:Vascular(TM), at the November 17 - 21 Veith Symposium in New York City. Attendees consider the technology to be a useful new step in understanding vascular disease. We continue to believe we are providing solutions that fit a market need and will do everything possible to generate meaningful revenue in the latter half of fiscal 2011."

ongoing response to the North American roll out of the Company's B-CAD-
FOR-LIFE(TM) subscription rental program. No professional fees were
earned in Q1 fiscal 2011 (fiscal 2010 - Nil) as the Company remains
