VirtualScopics Analytical Tools Used to Study Restoration of Dead Bone


VirtualScopics' suite of proprietary software analysis tools demonstrated
dramatic revascularization of the bone from the baseline imaging session to
the first follow-up.

Unlike other paramagnetic
contrast agents, MultiHance demonstrates weak and transient
interactions with serum proteins resulting in strong increases in
relaxivity in solutions containing serum proteins.

This pilot animal study allowed the research team to determine the imaging
technique feasibility including subject positioning and image reconstruction
in an area of bone healing where an implant is present. Due to the pilot's
success, a larger study is planned which involves functional in vivo imaging
to evaluate the efficacy of a novel gene therapy to enhance allograft
incorporation . Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed from time to time in reports
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission .
