12 Seno’s is the first device for breast care with functional and morphological information co-registered and correlated Indicates malignant state of tissue noninvasively Diagnoses women with dense breast tissue and implants Utilizes skills of technicians trained in ultrasound imaging and requires no special training 12 BENEFITS OF OPTO-ACOUSTIC IMAGING

Breast Cancer Patient Scanned by IMAGIO 1064 nm 755 nm US+1064 nm US+755 nm 14
15
15 UNDERLYING MAGIC First Dual Modality (Ultrasound & functional information combined) for breast care Portable, cost effective (not $ millions) No invasive dyes or radioisotopes No special buildings to house equipment Safety w/real-time diagnosis for patients Reduction of unnecessary health procedures (callbacks & biopsies)
16
16 BREAST CANCER IS THE #1 KILLER OF WOMEN Mammograms find tumors; they can’t determine if the tumors are cancerous 85% of biopsies determine tumors are benign Seno’s technology will eliminate 82% of false positives and 98% false negatives This will save the healthcare system billions of dollars in “wasted” invasive procedures
17
17 SENO’S GAME CHANGING TECHNOLOGY Seno’s patented opto-acoustic imaging technology detects cancer earlier and cheaper than the competition Seno’s technology detects tumors and can tell if they are cancerous by the density of angiogenesis and blood oxygen Seno’s technology provides real-time diagnostic data and eliminates: Unnecessary biopsies, Injection of a contrast agent into women and Delays between detection and follow-up action
18
18 THE BREAST CANCER DETECTION MARKET Breast Cancer exams and treatment are an $8 billion market – $4.7 billion is for detection and follow-up exams (U.S.) – Seno’s segment for equipment purchase is $1.5 billion Breast imaging is a growing global market Seno’s technology can also be used in the early detection of other cancers – This is an additional $40 billion market opportunity
19
Diagnostic Mammogram Risks: Ionizing Radiation Ultrasound Risks: None fMRI Risks: Contrast Agents Seno Imagio™ Cost comparable to other functional modalities Risks: None Needle Core / Surgical Biopsy Screening Mammogram Risks: Ionizing Radiation Needle Core / Surgical Biopsy Risks: Infection, Bleeding, Pain, Healing, Anesthesia 19 IMPROVED CARE PATH FOR SUSPICIOUS LESIONS $800 $2,200
