Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation Delivers Initial Shipment of Short-Lived
Radioisotopes to Kadlec Medical Center

KENNEWICK, Wash., Aug. 5, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Medical Isotope
Corporation ("AMIC") (Pink Sheets:ADMD) (http://www.isotopeworld.com) announced
the initial delivery of short-lived radioisotopes to be used in Positron
Emission Tomography (PET) from the Kennewick, Washington production center to
Kadlec Medical Center of Richland, Washington.

President William J. Stokes said, "AMIC is delighted to assist our region's
health care needs and be a local source for the production of a multitude of
radioisotopes. We have a committed team of professionals with a passionate
mission to deliver high quality medical isotopes in a timely and cost-efficient
manner."

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is rapidly becoming a preferred scanning
technique in medical research, allowing for the measurement in great detail of
the function of distinct areas of the body while the patient is conscious,
comfortable and alert. A PET scanner utilizes radiation emitted from a patient
to develop three dimensional images that assist in diagnosis with greater
clarity than Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) alone. Accordingly, PET scans are
increasingly used alongside Computed Tomography (CT) and MRI scans. CT and MRI
scans isolate organic anatomic changes in the body, while PET scanners are
capable of detecting areas of molecular biology detail, sometimes even prior to
anatomic change. Utilizing a PET machine, each patient is given a minute amount
of a radioactive pharmaceutical (such as the most widely used pharmaceutical for
this purpose, and what AMIC is delivering to Kadlec Medical Center),
fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and results are then generally interpreted by a
radiologist or by a nuclear medicine physician to configure the patient's
diagnosis and treatment plan.

FDG is being utilized for a variety of purposes, including diagnosis and
monitoring the treatment of Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,
Alzheimer's disease, and lung cancer.
