  1. SENO MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS OPTO-ACOUSTIC SYSTEMS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING AND TOMOGRAPHY Alexander A. Oraevsky, Ph.D. Chief Scientific Officer, Seno Medical Instruments

  2. OPTO-ACOUSTIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGY • Disruptive Technology for Unmet Needs • Multibillion Dollar Market • Platform for Multiple Follow-on Applications • Science Validated • Intellectual Property Protected Globally • Experienced Medical Device Management Team • Seeking Investment, Strategic Partners and Licensing Opportunities

  3. WHAT IS OPTO-ACOUSTIC IMAGING ? • OA is a Natural Fusion of Optical Imaging (that provides high contrast) and Acoustic Imaging (that provides high resolution). OA allows to see under the skin in the depth of tissue based on detection of ultrasound waves generated through absorption of light • Opto-Acoustic Imaging is Disruptive Technology: • New medical information - maps of blood distribution in tissues and its oxygen saturation • First new functional imaging technology in 30 years: no contrast agents or ionizing radiation

  4. VALIDATION OF SCIENCE PRE-CLINICAL IMAGING IN ANIMALS: BRIDGE TO CLINIC blood vessels Mouse organs micro-vasculature >$10M in US Government funding; >$30M for academic research worldwide

  5. Diagnostic Imaging Image - Guided Biopsy Monitoring of Drug Efficacy Monitoring of Treatment Molecular and Functional Imaging PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY UTILIZING LIGHTAND SOUND TO MAP AND CHARACTERIZE BLOOD IN TISSUES AND IN ANGIOGENESIS-RELATED MICROVASCULATURE Cancer Cardiovascular Intravascular ~$40 B ~$35 B Stroke Brain Trauma Other Blood Related Applications ~$10 B ~$10 B 5

  6. ENTRY MARKET: BREAST CANCER • LOUIS combines optics and acoustics to significantly improve accuracy of cancer detection and noninvasive diagnosis

  7. LOUIS™ IMAGINGPROVIDES FUNCTIONAL INFORMATION ON BLOOD DISTRIBUTION IN ADDITION TO TISSUE STRUCTURE
