Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Dirk Soenksen will present Aperio's value proposition and growth strategy for digital pathology on June 14th at 4:20 p.m. at Medtech Insight's prestigious "Investment in Innovations (In3): A Preview of Early-Stage Medical Technology Companies" Conference, taking place June 14-15, 2005 at The Palace Hotel in San Francisco, CA. Aperio is the leading provider of scanners and related software in the field of digital microscope slide imaging, also known as "virtual microscopy Virtual microscopy is a method of posting microscope images on, and transmitting them over, computer networks. This allows independent viewing of images by large numbers of people in diverse locations. It involves a synthesis of microscopy technologies and digital technologies. ." Aperio's ScanScope(R) scanners are based on a patented method that has enabled the Company to leap-frog the competition in performance and price. The ScanScope creates a digital image of an entire microscope slide at giga-pixel resolution in minutes. This digital slide has inherently superior image quality and is generated in a fraction of the time and at half the cost of competitive offerings. Aperio's products overcome the inefficiencies of today's (manual) pathology laboratory by enabling the creation, management, and analysis of diagnostic-quality digital slides. Aperio has realized average annual revenue growth of over 200% for the last four years, with only modest investment. Soenksen will outline Aperio's plans to leverage the Company's product and technology leadership position in virtual microscopy into the soon-to-be $1 billion digital pathology market. The digitization dig·i·tize tr.v. dig·i·tized, dig·i·tiz·ing, dig·i·tiz·es To put (data, for example) into digital form. dig of Pathology is following a similar path to Radiology, where imagery from X-ray, MRI 1.

In Pathology, over 40 million biopsies are performed each year, generating an estimated 200 million microscope slides annually. Virtual microscopy is quickly gaining traction in the Pathology market as the number of biopsies and corresponding microscope slides is steadily climbing due to an aging population, greater incidence of cancer, increased screening methodologies, and as the chronic shortage of pathologists continues. About Aperio Technologies, Inc. Aperio Technologies is a worldwide leader in virtual microscopy. Our award-winning ScanScope(R) scanners and Digital Slide Information Management Software deliver integrated digital slide creation, viewing, management, and analysis capabilities to pathologists. Applications include education, tissue microarrays, toxicology toxicology, study of poisons, or toxins, from the standpoint of detection, isolation, identification, and determination of their effects on the human body. Toxicology may be considered the branch of pharmacology devoted to the study of the poisonous effects of drugs. pathology, telepathology, image analysis and workflow systems (PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. ). Our freely downloadable ImageScope(TM) viewer makes digital slides accessible anywhere, anytime. With headquarters in Vista, California, Aperio serves a global pathology market in clinical, research, and education.
