Cedara supports Science North's Human Machine exhibit

Cedara Software Corp. has partnered with Science North in Sudbury, Ontario, in the creation of a new medical diagnostic imaging exhibit.

Science North is a government of Ontario Ministry of Culture agency and one of Canada's leading science centers. Science North's new Human Machine exhibit is intended to educate the general public about the human body and how patient images can help doctors identify medical problems.

Cedara has contributed two diagnostic medical imaging components to the Human Machine exhibit. The first component is a hands-on look at how doctors use MRI, CT, ultrasound or other major diagnostic imaging modalities to make a diagnosis. The second component is a quiz that challenges participants to examine real images and then select the appropriate answer.

The Human Machine exhibit at Science North is now on display in the Special Exhibits Hall until Sept. 6, 2004. For additional information, visit the company's Web site at www.cedara.com.
