Medicsight Launches ColonCAD(TM) Online CTC Platform

NEW YORK, June 29  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medicsight PLC, a subsidiary of MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: MGT) and an industry leader in the development of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) and image analysis software that assists radiologists in the early detection of disease, is pleased to announce the launch of its online product, MedicRead(TM) 3.0 Colon. This online offering makes the benefits of Medicsight's ColonCAD software truly accessible to all radiologists for the first time.

MedicRead(TM) 3.0 Colon is Medicsight's advanced visualization platform that includes the Company's ColonCAD(TM) software.  MedicRead(TM) 3.0 Colon allows radiologists to read computer tomography (CT) scans for the detection of colonic polyps, which may be the precursors of colon cancer.  MedicRead(TM) 3.0 Colon can be downloaded from the Internet at http://www.medicsight.com/ and will be sold as a total solution with either a single list price or available on a monthly installment basis over 12 months.

Allan Rowley, Chief Executive of Medicsight, commented, "The launch of the online MedicRead 3.0 Colon platform provides us with an additional distribution channel for our exciting ColonCAD(TM) software.  The MedicRead 3.0 Colon platform is currently the only visualization workstation for virtual colonoscopy that can be accessed and downloaded via the Internet.  This broad access allows us to reach a broader user base and allows the international radiology community the ability to take advantage of the clinical benefits of our ColonCAD."

Access to Medicsight's ColonCAD(TM) software is currently available through its partners' advanced 3D visualization platforms. As part of Medicsight's ongoing commitment to radiologists and to improving the early detection of colorectal cancer, Medicsight has developed MedicRead 3.0 Colon. This is a competitively priced, standalone, CTC visualization workstation that incorporates the latest version of ColonCAD 4.0 as well as Medicsight's MedicServer(TM) technology. MedicRead 3.0 Colon offers a valuable centralized pre-processing platform that accepts DICOM CT image data from either the CT console or any PACS system.

A 30-day free trial version of the software can be downloaded from the Medicsight new website http://www.medicsight.com/, allowing radiologists to experience the benefits of ColonCAD first-hand.

The new online application was showcased at the Medicsight booth at ESGAR 2009, which took place last week in Valencia, Spain.

Medicsight's ColonCAD technology has been approved for use in the European Union, China, Canada and Brazil. MedicRead 3.0 Colon is not currently available for sale in the United States.
