FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 9, 1999

Boston, MA: Computer Trust Corporation announced today that Memorial Health (Savannah, GA) implemented imaging on anatomic pathology reports on their first day of on-site training. Running Computer Trust Corporation's anatomic pathology software products since 1992, Memorial Health implemented WinSURGE on the Windows NT Server platform in 1997, and interfaced it to its HBOC Hospital Information System as well as to its fax/report-distribution systems. With the implementation of the new imaging functions, Memorial Health is now able to supplement the descriptive textual information on patient reports with full-color high-resolution gross and/or microscopic images where appropriate.

Computer Trust Corporation's president Dr. David Liberman stated, "We are delighted by the enthusiasm of the AP lab and MIS groups at Memorial Health. Over the years, this hospital has used WinSURGE to develop outstanding client service, QA, and report distribution services. The fact that the medical center was able to put gross and microscopic image-reporting into production on their first day of training, speaks to the initiative of Memorial Health and augurs well for the success of pathology image-reporting."

Cytology Supervisor Cindy Davis remarked, "Computer Trust Corporation has always been extremely responsive, and the product flexibility and user-friendliness have been outstanding. Some of the newest WinSURGE functions-such as graphs and improved user-formatting-make the best even better."

Dr. William Check, Pathologist at Memorial Health, offered, "We have been delighted by the exceptional level of product flexibility and user-friendliness of Computer Trust Corporation's anatomic pathology software. Image-reporting bridges the gap between the pathologist's visual impression and the clinician's desire to visualize the pathology and to show that graphical representation to the patient. I'm thrilled at how naturally imaging integrates into our work flow and reports."
