WebMD Practice Services and Dynamic Imaging Announce
a Strategic Alliance to Market IntegradWeb with WebMD Radiology Information Solutions

Combines the industry's leading billing and administrative solution with advanced web-based clinical functionality to improve workflow and diagnostic capabilities for radiologists in outpatient settings

CHICAGO, November 29, 2004 — WebMD Practice Services , a leading provider of administrative, financial and clinical software and services to the nation's medical practices, today announced that it will market Dynamic Imaging's IntegradWeb Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) as part of its radiology solutions product offering. WebMD made the announcement at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 90 th scientific assembly in Chicago (B ooth #2365).

WebMD will begin selling IntegradWeb PACS immediately, and will interface IntegradWeb PACS with WebMD's radiology practice management solutions. The combination of WebMD's radiology practice management tools and the image analysis tools in IntegradWeb PACS delivers a comprehensive solution for administrative staff and radiologists in the outpatient radiology environment. Sites will be able to monitor patient flow, manage multiple practice resources, and quickly generate and distribute radiology reports, both in traditional form and over the Internet.

WebMD has selected IntegradWeb PACS because of its innovative capabilities and Web-based architecture, which enables easy exchange of reports and full-fidelity images with users outside the radiology practice. With proper authorization and appropriate privileges, all remote users, such as teleradiologists, referring physicians, and radiology colleagues consulted on a case -- can enjoy the very same access and functionality as local users, via the web. Using a secure, encrypted web protocol, all users, whether local or remote, can access all of a patient's images and reports, which are always available online.

Integrated Functionality Planned in WebMD Radiology Navigator
In addition, WebMD will integrate Dynamic Imaging IntegradWeb PACS along with WebMD Intergy Radiology Information Solution (RIS) into WebMD's new unified desktop application, called the WebMD Radiology Navigator. This tool will give radiologists access to all patient information in an application that melds RIS and PACS data and workflow. Radiologists will be able to view current study images, prior studies and reports, critical patient history information, pertinent documents, physician orders and other relevant patient data from multiple sources, all of which are critical to making a swift and accurate diagnosis. By pulling together important clinical data - previously kept in disparate locations - the WebMD Radiology Navigator will place all available information at the radiologist's fingertips, creating a comprehensive picture of the patient's condition and enabling the radiologist to work more effectively. WebMD is previewing its design for WebMD Radiology Navigator at RSNA 2004.

"We are pleased to be working with the innovative team at Dynamic Imaging to deliver what radiologists really need -- a truly integrated workflow management and imaging solution that makes clinical, financial and administrative information accessible through a single desktop application," said Tom Stampiglia, President and Chief Operating Officer of WebMD Practice Services.

"As a leader in diagnostic imaging technology, we wanted to work with a leader in radiology information systems to bring to market the next generation of solutions for radiologists: solutions that meld business and diagnostic functionality into applications that are easy to use," said Alex Jurovitsky, Chief Executive Officer of Dynamic Imaging. "Dynamic Imaging and WebMD uniquely deliver that advantage."
