Connective News Issue... /// DANBURY, Conn., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Trex Medical Corporation (Amex: TXM) announced today that it has entered into a five-year, exclusive worldwide agreement with IMiG-MRI Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of Intermagnetics General Corporation, to distribute that company's new MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) system. Under the terms of the agreement, the system will be marketed as the TREX-MRI and will be distributed by Trex Medical's direct sales force as well as select dealers throughout the U.S. and overseas. Earlier this year, IMiG-MRI received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market this product - a winner of R&D Magazine's 1996 R&D 100 Award. Trex Medical will exhibit the TREX-MRI at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in early December. Intermagnetics (Amex: IMG) is a world leader in the development and application of superconductivity technology. The Latham, New York-based company manufactures superconducting magnets, wire, and cable, as well as associated low-temperature refrigeration equipment and radio frequency coils, the combination of which is essential for MRI. Intermagnetics manufactures magnets and other key components for some of the world's leading MRI manufacturers. "This agreement is an opportunity for Trex Medical to become involved in MRI with a unit that offers advanced technology and high-quality imaging at a very low cost," said Hal Kirshner, president and chief executive officer of Trex Medical. "In addition to entering a multibillion-dollar market and expanding our product line, we can now explore the benefits of this technology as an adjunct to mammography and for use in MRI-guided breast biopsy." "We are pleased to have our clinical MRI product distributed by one of the fastest-growing medical-imaging manufacturers, with a demonstrably successful and aggressive sales and marketing philosophy," said Glenn H. Epstein, president and chief operating officer of Intermagnetics. "We further believe that the reputation and name recognition of Trex Medical and the Thermo Electron family of companies will strongly support its market distribution." Trex Medical Corporation is the world's leading manufacturer of mammography equipment and minimally invasive digital breast-biopsy systems. In addition, the company manufactures general-purpose X-ray systems and state-of- the-art imaging systems used during vascular and interventional cardiac procedures such as balloon angioplasty. Trex Medical is a public subsidiary of ThermoTrex Corporation, a Thermo Electron company (NYSE: TMO). More information is available on the Internet at thermo.com. /// Regards, Warren
