          CompuMed, Inc. (the "Company") extended the expiration date of
          its public Warrants to August 2, 1999 from August 2, 1997.  The
          Warrants were issued under a Warrant Agreement, dated as of
          August 3, 1992, between the Company and U.S. Stock Transfer
          Corporation, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agreement").  The

          purchase one share of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value,
          at an exercise price of $3.75 per share for every ten (10)
          Warrants held.  

                    The Company and the Warrant Agent have amended the
          Warrant Agreement under an Amendatory Agreement, dated as of July
          31, 1997, to provide for the extension of the Warrants for a
          period of two years, whereby the Warrants will now expire on the
          close of business on August 2, 1999.  All other terms and
          conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement remain the same.  A
          Notice of Extension has been sent to all recordholders of the
          Warrants.

                    At July 31, 1997, there were outstanding 6,471,700
          Warrants for the purchase of 647,170 shares of Common Stock.

          Dear Warrantholder:

                    I am pleased to advise you that the Expiration Date of
          your Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value
          (the "Common Stock"), of CompuMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation
          (the "Company"), have been extended to August 2, 1999.  

                    Reference is made to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of
          August 2, 1992, between the Company and U.S. Stock Transfer
          Corporation (the "Warrant Agreement"), and the Warrant
          Certificates issued pursuant thereto, which entitle the
          Warrantholders to purchase one share of the Company's Common
          Stock at a present exercise price of $3.75 per share for every
          ten (10) Warrants owned, subject to adjustment and upon the other
          terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement.  The
          present Expiration Date of the Warrants is the close of business

          all other terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement
          and your Warrant Certificate will remain the same, subject to any
          future adjustments which may be required or agreed to under the
          Warrant Agreement.
