Brentwood, TN " January 19, 2004 - Radsource, a leading provider of orthopaedic imaging solutions, announced today that it has commenced exclusive MRI professional interpretation services for Northern Rockies Orthopaedic Specialists (NROS) of Missoula, Montana. In addition to providing interpretations to the practice, Radsource also assisted in the business analysis and equipment selection for the MRI project. NROS is utilizing Radsource's digital archiving services, which includes secure long-term storage of images as well as web-based viewing of images for referring physicians. The practice represents Radsource's first customer in the state of Montana.

"This project with NROS illustrates the breadth of our abilities in practice-based radiology", stated Radsource President, Mark Awh, MD. "Over a period of several months, Radsource assisted NROS in the cost justification for the project, the logistics of implementation, and the choice of imaging equipment. Now that clinical scanning has begun, in addition to providing professional interpretations, Radsource is working closely with NROS physicians and staff to optimize the workflow and exam quality at the site. Lastly, our technology allows NROS to provide the service securely, and without the use of film."
