New Quantum Technology Offers Exceptional Image Quality; Streamlines Workflow

BOSTON, 2012-02-07 22:03 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and
aviation security technology, today announced the worldwide launch of three BK
Medical ultrasound systems, the Pro Focus(tm) UltraView 800, the Flex Focus(tm) 800,
and the Flex Focus 500, each incorporating the groundbreaking Quantum(tm)
technology. Significant new features and advancements from the Quantum
Technology improve the practice of medicine by providing clinicians a faster
and easier way to maximize ultrasound performance in urology, surgery, general
imaging and anesthesiology.

'The three new ultrasound systems with Quantum Technology are our most
significant and innovative product announcements to date, underscoring our
pioneering innovation in ultrasound for over thirty years,' said Lars Shaw,
vice president of global marketing at Analogic. 'The superb imaging performance
and dramatic increase in 2D and color Doppler capabilities, coupled with the
productivity enhancements built into the new Quantum Technology, are examples
of Analogic's continuing promise to provide leading-edge ultrasound systems.'

Quantum Technology offers image quality enhancements including improved
contrast resolution, as well as new gray scale maps and new image pre-sets,
making it easier and quicker to obtain the highest quality images. In addition,
the new technology includes a unique Vector Flow Imaging (VFI) mode*, enabling
angle independent visualization of blood flow, and an advanced color Doppler
mode, enabling superb spatial resolution. Key benefits also include advanced
harmonic imaging when imaging all patient types, even the extremely


difficult-to-image patient.

Analogic's three new ultrasound systems complement BK Medical's extensive
product portfolio. The UltraView 800 and Flex Focus 800 are premium
performance, highly efficient new systems that incorporate Quantum Technology.
Compatible with all of BK Medical's transducers, the fully featured, premium
performance systems are ideally suited for surgery, including robotic-assisted
surgery, general imaging and high-end urology imaging. The UltraView 800 system
also has contrast imaging capabilities**, and both the UltraView 800 and Flex
Focus 800 systems have a HistoScanning*** ready option. The Flex Focus 500 is
the mid-range system in the BK Medical family incorporating Quantum Technology.
This portable system is powerful and well suited for a busy practice utilizing
ultrasound for urology and general imaging needs. All of the new systems also
have VFI* as an option. The full BK Medical product portfolio includes the Flex
Focus 200, 200 Surgery, 400 Anesthesia, 700, and the Pro Focus UltraView.

Analogic's worldwide launch began in Copenhagen, Denmark, continued to Dubai,
United Arab Emirates, and concluded in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Analogic Corporation recently received the coveted 2011 Frost&Sullivan North
American Product Differentiation Excellence of the Year Award in the Surgical
Ultrasound Market for its BK Medical ultrasound solutions.
