Luis, Today's announcement! Wednesday August 19, 7:02 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Caprius Announces Major Upgrade to Aurora System Research Workstation Installed At Faulkner-Sagoff Centre WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 1998-- Caprius Inc. (NASDAQ:CAPR - news) announced today the pre-production release of its Research Workstation, a major upgrade to its Aurora(R) dedicated Breast MRI System, has been completed and is being installed at the Faulkner-Sagoff Breast Imaging and Diagnostic Centre in Boston. The Research Workstation is a computer-based Digital Image Processing Tool that allows the physicians to review Aurora's three-dimensional MRI digital images. The images are transferred from the Aurora to the Workstation through the hospital's digital network system and can be digitally enhanced to identify, visualize, measure and analyze regions of interest/suspicion. For example, breast tissue can be displayed simultaneously in three views to help visualize the three-dimensional nature of a possible tumor. The tumor can then be measured in all directions to determine its extent and analyzed to measure the percent enhancement from the introduction of a contrast agent. Enrique Levy, President and COO, stated, ''We believe that the Research Workstation will be a tremendous asset for the physicians and radiologists as it will provide them with the tools to fully exploit Aurora's image data. This initial Workstation at Faulkner will provide important feedback to us prior to its commercialization in 1999.'' Caprius Inc. is dedicated to the development and commercialization of the Aurora system, a breast imaging system based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Aurora is the only FDA-cleared, MRI-based, dedicated breast imaging system in the United States.
