Ultrasonix Medical Corporation Credits a Great 2008 Start to EPI Extended Pulse Imaging Technology - a Significant Advance in Diagnostic Ultrasound

RICHMOND, British Columbia, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultrasonix Medical
Corporation Ltd. Announced a substantial growth for the first quarter of
2008, with a 20% increase in revenue over the same period in 2007. The
company attributes its strong growth to new advances on the award winning
Sonix OP and Sonix SP systems as well as substantial market growth in the
Emergency Medicine market.

Increased sales for the Sonix OP and Sonix SP platforms can be largely
attributed to a new breakthrough technology, EPI Extended Pulse Imaging.
EPI uses a special signal technology that improves penetration and
maintains image quality in technically difficult patients. Previously this
type of technology was only available on premium ultrasound systems. Now
clinicians have a more cost-effective alternative to use in a range of
applications including abdominal, gynecological, and obstetrical imaging.
