Streamlines Workflow

PEABODY, Mass., 2012-03-01 22:45 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and
aviation security technology, today announced that it will showcase its new
Flex Focus(tm) 500, Flex Focus 800, and Pro Focus(tm) UltraView 800 BK Medical
ultrasound systems at the European Society of Radiology 2012 in Vienna,
Austria, March 1 - 5. The new BK ultrasound systems incorporate the
groundbreaking Quantum(tm) Technology, offering significant new features and
advancements to improve the practice of medicine. The new ultrasound systems
with Quantum Technology were publicly announced worldwide to customers in
January 2012.

'Our new ultrasound solutions with the innovative Quantum Technology provide
physicians a quicker way to maximize ultrasound performance in interventional
radiology,' said Lars Shaw, vice president of global marketing at Analogic.
'The excellent 2D resolution offers improved visualization when performing deep
abdominal and small parts imaging. These significant enhancements, coupled with
superb imaging performance, exemplify Analogic's ongoing dedication to develop
leading-edge ultrasound solutions for its customers.'

Quantum Technology offers image quality enhancements including improved
contrast resolution as well as new grayscale 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 Flex Focus 800 and UltraView 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, high-end urology, and general imaging. The UltraView 800 system also
has contrast imaging capabilities**, and both the Flex Focus 800 and UltraView
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. 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, 400 Anesthesia, 700, and the Pro Focus UltraView.

To see a live demonstration of the three new ultrasound systems with Quantum
technology, please visit the BK Medical booth #602 during the ECR, the annual
