The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX VENTURE: MKI), a
pioneer in the development of imaging software solutions that help
medical practitioners better understand lesions and critical
anatomy, today announced its financial results for its third fiscal
quarter of 2011 ended March 31, 2011.
Jeff Collins, CEO of Medipattern, commented "The third quarter
of fiscal 2011 was significant for Medipattern as we received US
FDA clearance for our new Visualize:Vascular™ 3D vascular
ultrasound imaging product. Subsequent to successfully receiving
our FDA clearance, we completed a $3 million financing to support
fine tuning of the product, the initial limited launch over the
summer and the scheduled full commercial roll-out into the vascular
market in the fall of this year. Our focus in the near term will be
to continue to capitalize on the exceptional industry response
Visualize:Vascular™ has generated through initial testing. The
technology is proving to be clinically valued by vascular surgeons,
radiologists and cardiologists."
Collins also remarked, "The results from the next clinical study
using the 3D rendering feature provided by Visualize:Vascular™ are
planned to be presented at the Annual Vascular meeting which is the
joint annual meeting for the Society for Vascular Surgeons and the
Society for Vascular Ultrasound from June 16 to 18 in Chicago. The
paper, "Three Dimensional Reconstruction of the Vessel Lumen as an
Adjunct to the Cerebrovascular Duplex Evaluation" by Francis J.
Porreca, MD, FACS, RPVI, Angela Rodriguez-Wong, MD, RVT, RPVI, and
Joseph P. Hughes, RVT, RVS will be presented at that time. We
believe the product launch will be amplified through substantiated
clinical benefits and have directed our efforts toward sponsoring
investigations with clinical research partners," Collins
concluded.
