THE COMPANY
-----------
Imatron Inc. (the "Company" or "Imatron") is a technology-based company
principally engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing a
high performance computed tomography (CT) scanner that uses Electron Beam
Tomography ("EBT") technology based on a scanning electron beam. The scanner is
used in large and mid-sized hospitals and free-standing imaging clinics. The
Company provides service, parts and maintenance to hospitals and clinics that
operate its scanners.
Using patented electron beam technology, the Imatron scanner captures and
displays high-speed cine (or motion picture) images of the heart and joints in
motion as well as high-speed still images of the head and body. Imatron's
scanner can acquire computed tomography ("CT") images at a rate of 50 to 100
milliseconds per slice in contrast to conventional CT scanners that require
between 1 and 10 seconds per slice. Because of its high speed of image
acquisition derived from using an electron beam to generate x-rays, the Imatron
CT scanner can image moving body tissues such as the human heart in stop-motion
(still image) or in real time (cine or motion picture). This high imaging rate
is achieved by the use of electronic scanning methods that require no mechanical
motion. Scanning is performed by an electron beam under computer control using a
software program that permits a wide variety of options.
The Company is also engaged in performing research and development for
others in the field of CT devices and licensing its patents and know-how in the
fields of imaging sciences. The Company holds a 3% interest in InVision
Technologies, Inc. ("InVision"), (formerly Imatron Industrial Products, Inc.) a
corporation organized in 1990 to engage in the development of an explosives
detection scanner and to which Imatron has licensed certain of its technology.
The Company was incorporated in New Jersey in February 1983. Its executive
offices are located at 389 Oyster Point Boulevard, South San Francisco,
California 94080 and its telephone number is (415) 583-9964.
