HOLLAND’S UTRECHT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER CHOOSES AURORA MSC TO POWER ITS WEB BASED DIAGNOSTIC CENTER

MONTREAL, April 14, 2009 – Aurora MSC, the world leader in digital pathology communications, announced today that Utrecht University Medical Center has chosen its mScope Clinical suite to create an online diagnostic center of excellence. The agreement covers two applications, one is for tumor panels where specialized pathologists from different centers across Holland will regularly come together and look at digital slides using mScope. The other application will be for teleconsultation.

Dr. André Huisman, IT manager of the Department of Pathology at the Utrecht University Medical Center declared: “we want to improve our current practice by hosting some of our tumor panels in a digital manner. Pathologists will upload their digital slides and case information through mScope and participants will teleconference through interactive meetings.” Dr. Huisman added that: “the benefits we are seeking are improved work flow and increased collaboration between medical personal, for the benefit of our patients”.

Mr. Pierre Le Fèvre, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aurora MSC, pleased by the news said: “this agreement expands our already broad global presence and allows Aurora MSC to maintain its leadership position with another major institution. We are committed to continue providing robust communication tools through constant product improvements working with Key Opinion Leaders in the medical community and pathology.”
