PEABODY, Mass., 2011-12-29 17:15 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
BK Medical, part of Analogic's ultrasound group (Nasdaq:ALOG), announced that
it has received the 2011 Frost&Sullivan North American Product
Differentiation Excellence of the Year Award in the Surgical Ultrasound Market.
BK Medical recently highlighted this prominent award at the Radiological
Society of North America (RSNA) 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting.

'Our noteworthy accomplishments in ultrasound reflect innovation and excellence
in product engineering and design, which is evidenced by our comprehensive
range of ultrasound systems, including Advanced Robotics Ultrasound Technology(tm)
(ART(tm)), the industry's first complete imaging solution for robotic-assisted
surgery that includes the Flex Focus(tm) 700 Ultrasound System,' said Lars Shaw,
Analogic's vice president of global marketing. 'We are committed to providing
our customers with the most advanced ultrasound imaging modalities, and we are
truly honored to be recognized by Frost&Sullivan in the Product
Differentiation Excellence category.

'Our engineers worked closely with clinicians worldwide to develop innovative
ultrasound solutions with superior imaging capabilities for a wide range of
procedures. The Flex Focus 700 offers premium performance in surgery and
general imaging, enabling physicians to deliver state-of-the-art diagnostic
imaging to their patients with confidence,' continued Shaw.

The Flex Focus 700 is a premium performance ultrasound system designed to
address the breadth of general imaging applications. The system has been very
well received since its initial introduction for surgery, where BK Medical is a
global leader. The BK Power Pack(tm) is a full back-up power solution for the Flex




Focus 700 and Flex Focus 400 ultrasound systems that ensures plug-free imaging
for up to four hours with potential improvements to workflow and reductions in
patient wait times.

IQPAC(tm) technology, used in the Flex Focus 700, Flex Focus 400, and the Pro
Focus(tm) Ultraview(tm) systems, provides premium quality diagnostic images for all
patient types. IQPAC technology combines the company's proprietary enhanced
tissue definition and angular compound imaging technologies to optimize the
ultrasound image. As a result, contrast resolution is improved and the tissue
margins are more easily visualized. Together, these two technologies enable
improved border definition and reduced speckle noise in the image, resulting in
improved image quality.
