1980’s1990’s2000 - 2010 History of MR Magnets & Base Systems Gradient Systems “The Decade of RF” Fast Spin Echo Echo Planar Imaging Excite The Protons! Fast Easy to Use Robust Anatomical Functional RF Magnet ‘02 ‘07 8-Channel 32-Channel Massively Parallel 1.5T 3.0T Higher Field Strengths MR –More signal, capability, procedures

Noninvasive / minimally invasive therapy Focused US Tumor Ablation USA Breast Cancer: 180K new cases per year Hysterectomies: 170-300K / year for uterine fibroids 10 Sites globally are in Alpha testing of the technology 400+ patients successfully treated for Uterine Fibroid, Breast Fibroadenoma & Breast Cancer - negligible adverse events Ablation of tumors is monitored in real time using temperature sensitive MR imaging Business Case: >Potential patient population of 100,000+ annually. >Estimated Reimbursement rate: $7K-8K >A clinic can effectively perform 3-4 procedures/day

Why Is Digital Mammography Needed? Image Quality Film mammo has 20-35% missed cancers (screening) Film mammo has low positive predictive value Overexposed, underexposed films Film has poor contrast at skin line, chest wall Productivity / Economic Film is expensive to buy, process, handle & store Interventional procedures Only one copy of film – cannot be transmitted Film Screen Mammography Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality by 20-40%, But There is Significant Room for Improvement
