Radource Adds 25-Physician Orthopaedic Practice

Brentwood, TN " January 2, 2008 - Radsource, a leading provider of MRI interpretation and development, announced today the signing of a professional interpretation agreement with Premier Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine (POSM) in Nashville, Tennessee. Radsource will immediately begin providing subspecialty interpretations for the practice's 1.5 Tesla whole body MR unit.

"Radsource is extremely pleased to add a practice of this caliber", remarked Mark Awh, MD, Radsource's president. "Premier Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine is widely recognized in Middle Tennessee as an innovative and quality-focused practice. POSM physicians did not undertake the decision to use subspecialty teleradiology interpretations lightly, and the fact that their careful due diligence led to a Radsource decision is extremely gratifying to our company."

"Premier Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine has been a provider of in-office MRI services for five years", stated Joseph Wieck, MD, POSM's President. "That experience has solidified our belief that accurate, reliable interpretations are critical to our operations, both from an imaging and a surgical perspective. When we considered Radsource's expertise in MR interpretation and its operational and technology advantages, the argument to use Radsource became quite compelling."

Radsource has implemented its optimized MR study protocols at POSM's MR center, and is working closely with POSM's staff to ensure efficient MR operations. POSM will be utilizing Radsource's proprietary web-based order entry system, which eliminates the need for FAXed paperwork. POSM will also be accessing Radsource's filmless solution, which provides secure storage and web-based viewing of MRI images and reports to the practice.
