Capabilities Expands and Further Differentiates Service Offerings
GOLDEN, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Medical Imaging Holdings, Inc., a holding company formed by Galen Partners,
today announced it has acquired the Sonora Medical Systems business from
Misonix, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSON). The Sonora Medical Systems business will be
combined with the businesses of Barrington Medical Imaging and Echoserve, which
were acquired by Medical Imaging Holdings, Inc. on September 18, 2009. Galen
Partners, a leading healthcare private equity firm, led the transactions and
made a significant investment of growth capital into Medical Imaging Holdings,
Inc. concurrent with its initial acquisitions.

Sonora Medical Systems is a technology leader and innovator in the development
and marketing of proprietary test equipment and biomedical tools for the
ultrasound diagnostic imaging field and other specialty markets. Sonora has also
developed advanced repair capabilities for ultrasound probes and certain MRI
component parts, and is a leading provider of ultrasound probe repair services
to the medical imaging market. In addition, Sonora is the world's leading
acoustic power testing laboratory, and the only one that is accredited to ISO
17025.

The Sonora acquisition is expected to expand and further differentiate the
combined company`s service offerings and technical capabilities, as well as
provide an advanced research and development capability for continued
innovation. Wayne Moore, President and founder of Sonora Medical Systems, has
been named President - Advanced Development Group and Chief Strategy Officer of
the combined company and will remain an integral part of the combined company`s
leadership team.

"We are pleased that we were able to close this important strategic transaction
for Medical Imaging Holdings," commented David Jahns, Managing Director of Galen
Partners. "We believe the Sonora acquisition will provide important capabilities
for the combined company to further differentiate its offerings and expand its
share of the medical imaging services market. We look forward to continuing to
partner with this management team to explore additional strategic opportunities
to provide competitive differentiation and drive growth."

"Under Wayne Moore`s leadership, Sonora has been a long-time leader and
innovator in the development of proprietary test equipment, biomedical tools and
advanced parts repair capabilities for the ultrasound industry and other
diagnostic imaging markets," commented Jeff Soinski, Chief Executive Officer of
Medical Imaging Holdings, Inc. "By combining Sonora`s intellectual property and
advanced technical capabilities with the expanded field service organization and
technical operations of our recent Barrington and Echoserve acquisitions, we are
well-positioned to provide an enhanced level of service and expand our value
proposition for our diagnostic imaging customers."

"Declining reimbursement rates coupled with technical advances in the medical
imaging market have created the need now more than ever to use our current
proprietary technologies, as well as new and innovative solutions developed by
us, to broaden our definition of service and drive greater efficiency for our
customers, with a continued focus on patient safety and clinical efficacy,"
added Wayne Moore, President - Advanced Development Group and Chief Strategy
Officer. "I am excited to be part of a larger organization, focused exclusively
on bringing the highest level of service, quality and continued innovation to
the diagnostic imaging market."

Sonora Medical Systems, Barrington Medical Imaging, and Echoserve will continue
to conduct business under their existing names and maintain operations at their
current facilities during the integration process. It is anticipated that a new
name for the combined company will be introduced later this year.
