PR Newswire (US)
OGDEN, Utah, March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Computerized
Thermal Imaging, Inc. (CTI) (OTC:COIB) (BULLETIN BOARD: COIB) ,
today announced placement of CTI medical equipment at University of
New England's (UNE) Biomechanics Research Laboratory. UNE believes
biomechanical and physiological response to nerve injury and neural
provocation research will be receiving critical and valuable
physiological data generated from CTI's unique digital infrared
imaging camera. UNE, located in Portland, ME, has contracted for
the use of one imaging suite from CTI consisting of one Thermal
Imaging Processor (TIP(TM)) to be implemented as a key component
used for studies on Peripheral Nerve Injuries. The TIP(TM) system
provides medical professionals a physiological view of the body,
verses the anatomical view produced by other imaging modalities,
such as x-ray and MRI. CTI understands UNE researchers plan to
leverage CTI's most sensitive radiometric infrared camera
commercially available to quantify changes in blood flow during
physical therapy treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. By
measuring temperature changes, TIP(TM) provides valuable images and
data analysis allowing UNE researchers immediate, real-time
feed-back. CTI is scheduled to install and train UNE's staff
beginning April 3, 2006. UNE will commence its research immediately
following the installation. A spokesman for CTI commented "CTI is
excited to be working with and providing technologies for UNE's
upcoming Peripheral Nerve Injury study. These kinds of
opportunities enable CTI to contribute to the advancement of
medical understanding and ultimately the development of treatments
for physiological ailments." Dr. Nancy Quick, Director of UNE's
Biomedical Laboratories, stated "the CTI thermal imaging system
will provide an innovative and effective manner of examining
physiological changes that occur during the application of various
physical therapy techniques used to treat nerve injuries." She
further commented by saying, "information gained from this work
will provide a framework for enhancing outcomes in the treatment of
these disorders." About Computerized Thermal Imaging, Inc. (TM)
Computerized Thermal Imaging Inc. is in business to improve the
quality of life through the development and deployment of thermal
INFRARED imaging and associated technologies. While CTI's infrared
technology offers multiple existing and potential applications, its
primary focus is in medical and industrial applications. CTI
markets two FDA-cleared pain management products -- the Thermal
Imaging Processor (TIP) and an infrared light therapy device called
the Photonic Stimulator. For more information please contact Pam

before the FDA seeking pre-market approval of CTI's BCS 2100 breast
imaging system, CTI's ability to raise additional capital to fund
cash requirements for future operations and CTI's ability to
continue as a going concern. In particular, careful consideration
should be given to cautionary statements made in the various
reports CTI has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
