Mentor, OH / Calgary, Alberta, (PRWEB) May 31, 2005 -- SourceOne Healthcare
Technologies, Inc. and Imaging Dynamics Company, LTD. (IDC TSXV: IDL), today
announced the companies have signed an exclusive distribution agreement giving
SourceOne exclusive rights to sell IDC’s Xplorer™ DR systems to all branches of

SourceOne is the nation’s leading distributor of medical imaging systems,

facilities. IDC manufactures and markets its innovative direct digital
radiography (DR) solution to hospitals, imaging centers, specialty clinics, and
orthopaedic centers. Both companies initiated a highly successful nationwide
distribution agreement to serve Government as well as civilian customers in
November 2004.
“We have a long and rewarding history of servicing the
Government sector,” said Jerry C. Cirino, president and CEO, SourceOne
Healthcare Technologies. “We are pleased to help Government customer’s
transition from analog to digital solutions, first with OREX CR units, and now
with IDC’s distinctive DR solution.”
“We are very excited about
delivering our innovative, reliable, and affordable DR technology to Government
customers,” said Darryl Stein, president and CEO, Imaging Dynamics Co.
“SourceOne’s excellent reputation with the Government sector presents a solid
opportunity to combine our individual strengths and meet the growing demand for
digital radiography in this important marketplace.” He added, “Working closely
with SourceOne’s experienced sales force, we will jointly serve Government
customers ranging from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Indian Health Services,
and the Veterans Administration, to all branches of the U.S. Military, including
the Navy, Air Force, Marines and Army.”
“During the past 18 months,
SourceOne has delivered hundreds of OREX CR units to branches of the U.S.
Military,” said Cirino. “To date, most of these units have been deployed in
Iraq, Afghanistan and various military installations. Building on this success,
we anticipate IDC’s innovative and affordable DR solution will prove to be
equally successful in serving un-met needs in branches of the U.S. Military and
non-military Government agencies, alike.”
