Dear Valued Hologic|R2 Customer,

Our records indicate that you own an R2 ImageChecker system with a Vidar Diagnostic PRO scanner. We would like to inform you that, after September 2008, we will no longer provide software version 8.1 for Diagnostic PRO scanning platforms. If you have not yet upgraded your system software to v8.1, which provides Hologic|R2's newest mammography algorithm and a wide range of new features, and would like to take advantage of these advances, please contact your local Hologic|R2 sales representative.

In addition, please be aware that when you upgrade to v8.1 you can also add R2's DigitalNow film digitizing and archiving software. DigitalNow let's you migrate digitized films to PACS for storage and eventual use as comparison images in softcopy reading.

For assistance in determining your current software version and for sales contact information, please call the R2 Technical Assistance Center at 866-CHECKED (866-243-2533).

We are excited about the opportunity of providing you and your colleagues with the latest software available for your ImageChecker scanning platform. Our sales and service teams would be pleased to answer any questions you might have about our 8.1 version.

Thank you for letting us help you in the early detection of breast cancer; we greatly appreciate being part of your team in the fight against this deadly disease.

Sincerely,

Sibel Narin, DDS, MBA
Product Manager
Hologic, Inc.
