NEW YORK, June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medicsight PLC, a subsidiary of
MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: MGT) and an industry leader in the
development of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) and image analysis software that
assists radiologists in the early detection of disease, is pleased to announce
the launch of its online product, MedicRead(TM) 3.0 Colon. This online
offering makes the benefits of Medicsight's ColonCAD software truly accessible
to all radiologists for the first time. 

MedicRead(TM) 3.0 Colon is Medicsight's advanced visualization platform that
includes the Company's ColonCAD(TM) software.  MedicRead(TM) 3.0 Colon allows
radiologists to read computer tomography (CT) scans for the detection of
colonic polyps, which may be the precursors of colon cancer.  MedicRead(TM)
3.0 Colon can be downloaded from the Internet at www.medicsight.com and will
be sold as a total solution with either a single list price or available on a
monthly installment basis over 12 months.

Allan Rowley, Chief Executive of Medicsight, commented, "The launch of the
online MedicRead 3.0 Colon platform provides us with an additional
distribution channel for our exciting ColonCAD(TM) software.  The MedicRead
3.0 Colon platform is currently the only visualization workstation for virtual
colonoscopy that can be accessed and downloaded via the Internet.  This broad
access allows us to reach a broader user base and allows the international
radiology community the ability to take advantage of the clinical benefits of
our ColonCAD."

Access to Medicsight's ColonCAD(TM) software is currently available through
its partners' advanced 3D visualization platforms. As part of Medicsight's
ongoing commitment to radiologists and to improving the early detection of
colorectal cancer, Medicsight has developed MedicRead 3.0 Colon. This is a
competitively priced, standalone, CTC visualization workstation that
incorporates the latest version of ColonCAD 4.0 as well as Medicsight's
MedicServer(TM) technology. MedicRead 3.0 Colon offers a valuable centralized
pre-processing platform that accepts DICOM CT image data from either the CT
console or any PACS system. 

A 30-day free trial version of the software can be downloaded from the
Medicsight new website www.medicsight.com, allowing radiologists to experience
the benefits of ColonCAD first-hand.

The new online application was showcased at the Medicsight booth at ESGAR
2009, which took place last week in Valencia, Spain. 

Medicsight's ColonCAD technology has been approved for use in the European
Union, China, Canada and Brazil. MedicRead 3.0 Colon is not currently
available for sale in the United States.
