Brentwood, TN " December 3, 2007 " Radsource announced today that it has become the exclusive MRI professional interpretation provider for Lakeshore Bone and Joint Institute (LBJI) in Chesterton, Indiana. The thirteen physician orthopedic practice operates six offices throughout Northwest Indiana. They currently utilize a 1.5 Tesla whole body MRI unit and intend to add a High Field Open MRI at a new location in early 2008. In addition to benefiting from expert MR interpretations provided by Radsource, LBJI also employs Radsource's web-based order entry system and its MR archival and viewing service.

Mr. Jim Turner, Chief Executive Officer of LBJI, commented, "The physicians of LBJI are an exacting group, demanding the highest quality in all their endeavors. Since Radsource began providing their services, many of our doctors have remarked on the improvement in our MRI service, both clinically and operationally. Our practice is continuing to grow rapidly, and with that growth will come numerous imaging initiatives. We are pleased and comforted that we now have an imaging partner that we can rely upon to assist us with the challenges that we will surely face."

Orthopedic surgeon and partner, Paul Gruszka, MD, stated, "As an orthopedic specialist, the quality of an MRI study is essential to patient care and outcomes. The reports generated must be accurate and timely to ensure a proper diagnosis. We feel the technology Radsource employs and the level of clinical excellence they achieve have enhanced the orthopedic care we provide our patients. We look forward to a continued relationship as our practice grows."
