"We are excited to participate for the first time in three
leading global workshops on ultrasound/MR Fusion technologies and
profile our ExactVu platform and FusionVu application," says
Randy AuCoin, Exact Imaging's
President and CEO. "Urologists worldwide are desperate for better
biopsy targeting solutions and our ExactVu platform provides the
highest resolution real-time targeting approach. Should there be a
requirement to include MR imaging, FusionVu provides the fastest,
simplest fusion solution. FusionVu incorporate MR images onto the
ExactVu platform to perform cognitive targeting (called Cognitive
Assist™) or fully aligns MR images to enable micro-ultrasound/MRI
fusion-based targeting. Participating in these world-class
workshops is an excellent forum to highlight our technology".
In addition to these workshops, the ExactVu/FusionVu product
offering will also be demonstrated at several leading global
urological conferences. A complete list of these conferences is

About Exact Imaging:
Exact Imaging (www.exactimaging.com)is the
world's leader in high-resolution micro-ultrasound systems enabling
real-time imaging and guided biopsies in the urological market for
prostate cancer. Exact Imaging's ExactVu™ micro-ultrasound platform
operates at 29 MHz and enables a whole new level of resolution with
the benefits of ease of use, affordability, and being an extension
of the current urological workflow. Using the Exact Imaging
platform, urologists are able to visualize areas of interest in the
prostate and specifically target biopsies at those areas, aided by
the PRI-MUS™ (prostate risk
identification using micro-ultrasound)
evidence-based micro-ultrasound protocol. For the minority of cases
where MRI might assist (i.e., prior negative biopsies),
FusionVu™ is the forthcoming micro-US/MRI fusion application
operating on the ExactVu micro-ultrasound platform. The ExactVu
micro-ultrasound system has received regulatory approval in the
European Union (CE Mark), the United
States (FDA 510(k)) and Canada (Health Canada medical device
license).
