                                  EXHIBIT 99.1


Tempe, Arizona, July 13, 1998 -- OrthoLogic Corp. (Nasdaq: OLGC) today announced
that the company has completed a private equity placement with two investors, an
affiliate  of  Credit   Suisse  First   Boston   Corp.   and  Capital   Ventures
International.  Volpe Brown Whelan and Company,  LLC acted as financial advisors
to the company for this transaction.

Under the terms of the  purchase  agreement,  OrthoLogic  sold 15,000  shares of
Series B  Convertible  Preferred  Stock for $15  million  (prior to costs).  The
Series B Convertible  Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock
300 days  after  issuance  and will  automatically  convert,  to the  extent not
previously  converted,  into  Common  Stock  four  years  following  the date of
issuance. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into
Common  Stock at a per share  price equal to the lesser of the average of the 10
lowest  closing  bids  during  the 30 days prior to  conversion  and 103% of the
average of the  closing  bids for the 10 days  prior to the 300th day  following
issuance.  The Series B Convertible  Preferred Stock is convertible  into Common
Stock  prior to the 300th day after  issuance  upon the  occurrence  of  certain
events (in which case the conversion  price will be the average of the 10 lowest
closing bids during the 30 days prior to  conversion).  The  agreement  contains
strict  covenants that protect against hedging and  short-selling  of OrthoLogic
Common  Stock  while the  purchaser  holds  shares of the  Series B  Convertible
Preferred Stock.

In connection with the private  placement of the Series B Convertible  Preferred
Stock,  OrthoLogic  issued to the  purchasers  warrants to purchase 40 shares of
Common Stock for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, exercisable
at $5.50. The company has agreed to file a registration  statement  covering the
underlying common stock.

"This financing  represents a significant  accomplishment  for OrthoLogic," said
Thomas R. Trotter, president and CEO. "We chose this method of equity investment
over other  currently  available  options  because we believe it could result in
less dilution for our  shareholders and will give us more flexibility to address
our near-term investment opportunities."

Proceeds  from  the  private   placement  will  be  used  to  fund  new  product
opportunities,  including  SpinaLogic,  Chrysalin  and  Hyalgan  as  well  as to
complete the reengineering of the company's key business processes.

"During the last nine  months,  we have taken  significant  steps to  revitalize
OrthoLogic," added Trotter.  "These included strengthening the senior management
team,  reorganizing  our  field  sales  force,  redesigning  our most  important
business processes and renewing emphasis on product development. We believe that
these results,  combined with our improved financial position, have enhanced our
ability to achieve our most important goal of increasing shareholder value."
