Imaging Diagnostic Systems Installs Additional CTLM(R) System for Schering AG, Studies
Fort Lauderdale. Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. announced that Schering AG, Germany, has requested an additional CTLM(R) system as part of their collaborative efforts with IDSI to continue their studies of fluorescent compounds in their quest of breast cancer detection.
Schering AG and Imaging Diagnostic Systems previously signed a collaborative agreement designed to evaluate the advantages of new fluorescence dyes developed by Schering AG for the potential use of detecting breast cancer. Imaging Diagnostics' CTLM(R) system will be used in conjunction with Schering AG's dyes during Schering's clinical trials. The collaboration will assist in determining the potential benefits of using both technologies adjunctively to further enhance the CTLM(R) systems' capabilities in detecting breast cancer.
Schering AG is a research-based pharmaceutical company. Its activities are focused on four business areas: Gynecology&Andrology, Diagnostics & Radiopharmaceuticals, Dermatology, as well as Specialized Therapeutics for disabling diseases in the fields of the central nervous system, oncology and cardiovascular system.

Imaging Diagnostic Systems has received CE Marking, UL listing, ISO 9001:2000 certification and FDA export certification for its CT Laser Breast imaging system. The CTLM(R) system is the first patented breast-imaging system that utilizes state-of the-art laser technology and patented algorithms to create 3-D cross-sectional images of the breast. The Company is seeking PreMarket Approval (PMA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its CTLM(R) system to be used as an adjunct to mammography. The CTLM(R) system is a non-invasive, painless examination that does not expose the patient to radiation or require breast compression.
