TORONTO, ONTARIO -- 10/28/09 -- Attention: Business/Financial Editors:

The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX VENTURE: MKI), a pioneer in the development of medical software solutions that help improve imaging workflow and productivity, today announced its business highlights and audited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

"Our 2009 results reflect the change in business model we have adopted and as a result are significantly lower in the near term. However, the successful introduction of B-CAD-FOR-LIFE(TM), which was well received in the initial phase of release, now positions this program to make significant contributions to revenue in the coming quarters," said Jeff Collins, CEO of Medipattern. "We expect the national roll out of this product to begin in November of this year. With the affirmation of the B-CAD-FOR-LIFE(TM) model and our entry next year into the considerably larger vascular market with the introduction of Vascular iQ(TM), we anticipate Medipattern will generate significant revenue in fiscal 2010."

Business Highlights of Fiscal 2009:

- October 8, 2008 - Announced that a study abstract, showing statistically significant increase in diagnostic accuracy (44%) when using B-CAD Version 2 on lesions less than 1 cm in size, was published in the October 2008 American Journal of Clinical Oncology;
