Third Quarter Summary Trading Statement

 

Medicsight PLC (AIM:MDST), industry leader in the development of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) and image analysis software which assists in the early detection and diagnosis of disease, is pleased to announce summary Interim Results for the quarter ended 30 September 2007.

 

Highlights

 

                                          First commercial bookings

                                          Regulatory approval granted in Australia for ColonCAD™

 

David Sumner, Chief Executive of Medicsight PLC, commented: “I am delighted to announce that the Company’s first revenue bookings have taken place this quarter. This is an important commercial milestone for the Company and paves the way for anticipated profitability in 2008. In addition our contract pipeline also continues to grow and regulatory approvals continue as planned, including the initial regulatory approval for our ColonCAD™ product in Australia. In relation to future product delivery, the development group is making good progress and is on schedule to deliver against the revised product roadmap.

 

“The most important news item however for this quarter is the recent announcement from The American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN), a national cancer research organization sponsored and funded by the US National Cancer Institute, in relation to the ACRIN 6664 study. This large multi-centre study demonstrates that CT Colonography is as sensitive as Optical Colonoscopy when screening for colorectal polyps with a diameter in excess of 1 cm. We believe that this landmark clinical study now provides the data required to enable CT Colonography to be included in the major screening guidelines for colorectal cancer in the USA. This also makes the reimbursement landscape look very encouraging for CT Colonography in the world’s largest medical imaging market.”
