(OTCBB: ABPH) a developer of next generation medical imaging applications using advanced infrared technology announced today that it has entered into an agreement with The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Coordinates: Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) is New Hampshire's only academic medical center and is headquartered on a 225-acre campus in the heart of the Upper Connecticut River Valley, in Lebanon, New Hampshire. and Dartmouth Medical School Dartmouth Medical School is the medical school of Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire. The school is closely affiliated with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in neighboring Lebanon, New Hampshire. Department of Surgery. Dartmouth will participate in the company's multi-center clinical trial investigating the use of Advanced BioPhotonics' proprietary DIRI(R) method of dynamic infrared imaging in mapping vascular perforator blood vessels in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery procedures. "Dartmouth is the third luminary medical center in the United States to join this multi-center trial. The company believes that perforator vessel localization Customizing software and documentation for a particular country.

See internationalization and l10n. in Plastic and Reconstructive surgery flap procedures represents an important surgical application that has the potential to shorten O.R. procedure times by providing surgeons with anatomical information and measurements not readily available today with conventional imaging techniques" said Robert Ellis, Senior Vice President of Advanced BioPhotonics. "We are delighted and privileged to be working with Dartmouth's Department of Surgery on this application." To conduct this study, which is scheduled to begin within two weeks, Dartmouth will utilize the Company's patented BioScanIR(R) System, a functional medical imaging modality that provides a fast, non-invasive, radiation-free method for detecting diseases that affect perfusion and reperfusion re·per·fu·sion n.

The company expects at least one additional luminary medical center to join this trial in the next several weeks and expects to conclude the trial in September 2006. "It will be very interesting to investigate the effectiveness of this technology. We hope that it offers us a more effective way to deal with some of our reconstructive challenges" said Christopher Demas, M.D., Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
