"Analogic originally invested in Cedara in September 2001 to secure access to leading-edge medical imaging software," Wood said. "As a result of Cedara's dramatic turnaround under the direction and leadership of Abe Schwartz and his management team, Cedara no longer requires Analogic's ongoing support. Analogic has met and anticipates that it will continue to meet its goals and objectives in medical imaging software through various contractual arrangements and strategic alliances without the need to maintain an ownership interest in Cedara."

Cedara recently signed a long-term contract to provide its advanced image-processing software to Analogic and its subsidiaries, including ANEXA(TM) Corporation, which provides next-generation, digital imaging solutions to select end-user markets such as orthopedic and trauma centers. Cedara and ANEXA also recently entered into a cooperative agreement whereby the direct sales organizations of the two companies will promote each other's products and work jointly to offer end users in the North American North American
