"Money on the Mark" Features Medipattern's Visualize:Vascular™

Radio Interview Concludes Visualize:Vascular™ Is a Valuable Tool for Cardiologists

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 20, 2011) -

Attention: Business/Financial Editors

The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX VENTURE:MKI), a pioneer in the development of medical imaging software solutions that help medical practitioners to better understand lesions and critical anatomy, announced today that the Company was featured for a second time on the Money on the Mark radio program hosted by Dale Jackson in New York. The program can be downloaded from [ www.medipattern.com ]. The interview focuses on use of Visualize:Vascular™ in a cardiology practice and their diagnostic services provider, Navix Diagnostix. Navix is one of Medipattern's channel partners.

"It [Visualize:Vascular™] can mean the difference between continued medical therapy and the patient going to a surgical revascularization or stenting," commented Dr. Robert Jumper, FACC, RVPI, Interventional Cardiologist with Cardiology of Fairfield County (CAFC), located in Connecticut. "It gives us a more complete picture and a better sense of the disease process in order to better treat the patient and get them to the appropriate course of therapy, whether it be continued preventive care and avoiding pre-mature surgery; or surgery and forgoing further preventive care."

Robert Kane, Senior Vice President of Clinical Services at Navix was interviewed in another segment where he commented, "It's sort of like radio and television. [Visualize:Vascular™] is like having a 3D TV as compared to what we did before was radio. 2D would be viewed as being flat. The vessel is a tube so it has 3 dimensions. We are able to see things with Medipattern that we have never been able to see before." Kane continued to comment regarding possible future applications for the technology, "We believe that there are many more applications for this: lower aorta, femoral artery and veins. Being able to see inside that vessel that is not functioning like it usually does is really a tremendous help. There are massive applications for this."

"Medipattern appreciates our early data collection work hosted by CAFC in support of developing our vascular product," commented Medipattern CEO Jeff Collins. "Medipattern is pleased to continue to foster our relationship with Navix. The two companies have recently included reciprocating web pages. Medipattern is seen on the Navix home page, [ www.navixdiagnostix.com ] and Navix's sub page, [ http://www.navixdiagnostix.com/3dreconimg.cfm ]. And Navix is seen on Medipattern's Solutions page [ http://www.medipattern.com/solutions_vascular_bundled.aspx ]. Navix is in the process of proceeding with its planned product roll out for Visualize:Vascular™ including it within Navix's service offerings."
