MC Ultrasound acquired by MedPro Imaging

MedPro Imaging, a premium provider of new and refurbished ultrasound solutions, announced today that the Company has acquired MC Ultrasound, a leading on-site ultrasound provider for high quality, reliable ultrasound staffing and services throughout the Chicago area. The acquisition marks yet another milestone in MedPro Imaging's significant growth in 2009 as the Company continues its commitment of providing quality ultrasound imaging solutions.

"MC Ultrasound has an outstanding reputation for quality services and customer service," said Charles Jahnke, president and CEO of MedPro Imaging. "We share the common goal of providing the right solutions to fulfill our customers' ultrasound imaging needs. This acquisition is a natural addition to our growing family of products and services."

MC Ultrasound, LLC was founded 10 years ago by Robin Hoffman, MS, RDMS, RVT, RT, a graduate of Johns Hopkins Hospital diagnostic medical sonography program. MC Ultrasound provides affordable services to private medical groups, community centers and facilities. These services include cardiovascular (adult and pediatric), vascular, women's health, abdominal, small parts and MSK exams. Experienced board certified radiologists are available to provide quality interpretations in a timely manner, in addition to immediate quality technical findings following every exam. MC Ultrasound will become a division of MedPro Imaging and continue under the direction of Hoffman as chief operating officer of the unit.

"We are excited to become part of MedPro Imaging and the growth opportunity this affords," said Hoffman. "We are committed to offering services to a diverse array of patient populations. This acquisition will result in even greater services to our customers and their patients, further supporting our mission to provide high quality, reliable and professional on-site diagnostic medical sonography to all types of medical practices."

In addition to the new mobile services, the Wisconsin-based MedPro Imaging markets ultrasound products and services in 17 countries, globally. MedPro provides new and used options in ultrasound systems, transducers and parts. The Company offers ultrasound products which focus on leading manufacturers of ultrasound systems. These include GE, Mindray, Siemens, Sonosite, ATL/Philips and other highly trusted brands.

"We have been using the services of MC Ultrasound for nine years," said Herman Calonje, MD, owner of Mother & Child Healthcare in Chicago. "Their professional, high quality services have been a tremendous asset in meeting our patients' imaging needs. MedPro Imaging should provide additional strength and depth to these services and we look forward to our continued partnership in providing excellence in patient care."
