IMAGING ADVANTAGE LAUNCHES OPERATIONS AT

STS. MARY & ELIZABETH HOSPITAL

Louisville, KY – July 1, 2010 – Imaging Advantage LLC, a national-recognized radiology managed


services company, today announced the successful launch of diagnostic radiology services at Sts. Mary
& Elizabeth Hospital, a 331-bed primary care hospital offering advanced treatment in cancer, cardiac
care, lung disease, orthopaedics, vascular and general surgery, and emergency services. In particular,
the hospital’s Emergency Department is the 2nd busiest in the City of Louisville, and the 5th busiest in
the State of Kentucky.

Services provided by Imaging Advantage radiologists include subspecialty interpretations, final “reads”
at all hours, and – most uniquely – a trial program for onsite radiologist coverage 24 hours per day, 7
days per week, to support and bolster the work of the hospital’s ED.

Ken Johnson, COO of Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, described the radiology selection process. “The
hospital solicited proposals from multiple radiology groups, prior to selecting Imaging Advantage. In
our opinion, Sts Mary & Elizabeth Hospital is a unique institution with specific needs generated by our
Emergency Department, our Women’s Center that offers a full range of specialty imaging capabilities,
and a highly advanced Interventional Radiology Service. We pride ourselves on our partnerships with
quality medical groups who share our desire to provide services of outstanding quality.”

Dr. Robert Couch, Medical Director of the Emergency Department at Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital,
was particularly enthused about the increased range of services and radiologist coverage. “Imaging
Advantage is providing us with everything we asked for, and more. Their support for the ED has been
fantastic.”

Tom Gessel, President & CEO of Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, commented further. “We believe our
patients and referring physicians should receive the most comprehensive medical imaging technology
and the highest level of professional expertise… Imaging Advantage is a market leader in providing
comprehensive radiology solutions to hospitals, imaging centers and radiology groups. They offer
practice management, board-certified Radiologists on-site, day and night final read subspecialty
teleradiology, and quality control utilizing the American College of Radiology RadPeer certified
program… Imaging Advantage also has an exclusive contract with Massachusetts General Hospital for
3D post processing services, offering their clients the latest innovations in imaging technologies.”

Dr. Raymonda Stevens, a diagnostic and women’s imaging radiologist who joined Imaging Advantage’s
practice from the former radiology group, stated that “the transition to IA was organized, efficient, and
rewarding. In particular, the company’s workflow management solution and emphasis on customer
service has enabled more time for me to interact with referring physicians and to help build the practice.
Imaging Advantage’s comprehensive approach has been a win-win for all involved: for the hospital, the
radiologists and other medical staff, and most importantly, for the patients.”
