#5 sold. Wednesday May 31, 8:06 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Imatron Announces EBT Scanner Sale to Imaging For Life in White Plains, New York SO. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2000--Imatron Inc. (Nasdaq:IMAT - news) announced today that it has sold an EBT scanner to Imaging For Life in White Plains, New York. This system sale will be recorded in the Company's second quarter financial results and represents the fifth EBT scanner sale during the quarter. Imaging For Life will provide coronary artery scanning, electron beam angiography (EBA) and lung scanning applications using Imatron's Electron Beam Tomography (EBT) scanner. Services will be marketed to physicians and the general public. The facility will be located at 4 Lyon Place in White Plains and is expected to be operational in early Fall. Dr. George Berk is the President of Imaging For Life, and is the immediate past president of the Westchester-Putnam Division of the American Heart Association and a practicing cardiologist in Westchester County, New York, for over 25 years. Dr. Berk stated, ``We are very pleased to bring this cutting-edge technology to the people of Westchester County, New York and southern Connecticut, and have been very gratified by the wide interest voiced by the medical community and the public. In an era when, for the first time, effective preventive measures exist for coronary heart disease, early detection of atherosclerosis and identification of high risk individuals becomes critically important. Research over the past several years has unequivocally verified the correlation between coronary calcification and atherosclerotic load, and the further strong correlation with coronary events. Utilizing Imatron's EBT scanner gives us the true capacity to practice preventive medicine, and puts the conquest of coronary heart disease on the visible horizon.''
