Lucid Previews VivaNet^™ Telemedicine Server for Dermatology Applications

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, USA – April 12, 2007 - Lucid, Inc. will provide the European Union (EU) with a preview of its VivaNetTM  telemedicine server for dermatology applications at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Show (EADV) in Vienna, Austria, May 16-20, 2007.

The VivaNetTM  server is intended to link dermatology practitioners using Lucid’s noninvasive VivaScope® confocal imagers with other dermatologists or pathologists via the Internet.

Lucid will display the VivaNet^™ server at the EADV in conjunction with MAVIG, its EU distribution partner based in Munich, in MAVIG’s booth Y35.

"Lucid’s noninvasive VivaScope® confocal microscopes provide cellular resolution images of skin that may be used by a dermatologist to assist in forming a clinical judgment for a variety of skin conditions," said Jay Eastman, Chairman and CEO of Lucid, Inc.  He continued, "VivaNetTM is intended to provide fast, accurate, and secure storage, retrieval and transfer of VivaScope® digital cellular resolution images across the Internet to facilitate professional collaboration and consultation."

During a typical VivaScope® imaging session, both dermatoscopic quality, full color macroscopic pictures and microscopic, cellular resolution images of the patient’s skin are imaged. Once all of the images for a single session are completed, the images and patient related data are transferred for storage to the secure VivaNetTM server and are immediately available for retrieval by and transfer to other authorized practitioners for their review and collaboration.

"Our plan is that VivaNetTM will ultimately make in vivo confocal images available for review by other dermatologists and pathologists in minutes, not days, thus enabling rapid, real-time professional collaboration," said Eastman.

VivaNetTM is an Internet-based, DICOM-compliant application that enables the transfer of VivaScope® digital images between practitioners and pathologists for rapid review of confocal images. DICOM, which is an acronym for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, is an internationally accepted, and widely used standard for the secure storage, retrieval and transfer of medical images. HIPAA-compliance, privacy, and data integrity are assured by using proven DICOM compliant software modules that incorporate advanced encryption techniques.
