Dow Jones Description

Our vision for the future is to introduce a new standard in vascular imaging worldwide. Our immediate goal is to provide useful information in the breast cancer diagnostic process. To these ends, we are building a fully integrated medical device company whose focus is the development and commercialization of a new generation of angiogenesis-based imaging systems. Such imaging systems are intended to offer more accurate screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of most major diseases. The ComfortScan system is designed to alert physicians to the first indication of breast cancer by potentially detecting angiogenesis, which in turn provides valuable information to the diagnosing physician. Once we have completed the final step in the FDA approval process (4 modules of 5 have already been reviewed and accepted), DOBI Medical International could move ahead to provide a new diagnostic resource for physicians, service providers and scientists; cost savings to third-party payers; a positive impact on breast health; and, finally, improved quality of life for women around the world. Ultimately, we expect clinical trial data and market usage to engender confidence in our technology to the extent that it will be seen as a critical tool in the diagnosis and treatment breast cancer worldwide.
