IMAGING DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS, INC. RECEIVES $15 MILLION EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Imaging Diagnostic
Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IMDS) announced today that it has
entered into an irrevocable agreement with a consortium of prominent
European banking institutions who will invest up to $15 million in the
Company over the next three years.
Imaging Diagnostic Systems President, Ms. Linda Grable, said, "The
completion of this financing, which is structured as an equity line of
credit, is significant because it provides the key capital component
for our completing FDA clinical trials through PMA submission and
subsequently ramping up to full manufacturing capacity. With no future
financial concerns facing us, we are now free to focus strictly on
bringing the world's first laser-based mammography system to market. It
is indeed an exciting time for Imaging Diagnostics and our valued
shareholders, whose patience and support have been truly appreciated."
The Company is currently conducting in-house clinical studies monitored
by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) of approximately fifteen to
twenty patients whose studies will establish image interpretation
criteria for PMA submission. Upon completion of the first phase
clinical studies, the Company will commence the second phase clinical
trials at three prominent hospitals. The Company will launch
manufacturing of its CT Laser Mammography (CTLM(TM)) Systems
immediately following the first phase clinical trials to ensure timely
delivery of systems to the Company's European customers.
Imaging Diagnostic Systems has developed the world's first patented
laser- based mammography system that utilizes state-of-the-art laser
technology and proprietary computed algorithms that create contiguous
cross sectional slices of the breast. This procedure is performed
without the use of x-rays and/or painful breast compression.
