ENHANCED CYSTOSCOPY IMPROVES BLADDER CANCER DETECTION

Imagin Medical is the developer of the ultrasensitive i/Blue Imaging System that will establish a new standard of care
---> for urologists in detecting cancers and visualizing the surgical field in minimally invasive surgery. The Company's i
--->nitial focus is bladder cancer.
______________________________________________________________________

Vancouver, B.C. and Boston, MA, November 6, 2017 - Imagin Medical (CSE: IME) (OTC PINK: IMEXF) (Frankfurt & Stuttgart 
--->Symbol: DPD2) (the "Company") confirms that experts in the field of urology concur that one reason for the high recurr
--->ence rate after transurethral resection (TUR), is that some cancer not seen was left behind by the surgeon. Some years
---> ago, enhanced cystoscopy was put forward as a way of identifying this unseen bladder cancer.

The uptake of enhanced cystoscopy has taken a number of years to evolve, partly because new equipment and supplies had
---> to be purchased, as well as various procedural changes that needed to be implemented.  But most significantly, many o
--->f these new procedures often require up to one hour for the physician to visualize the cancer and begin the cysto-TUR.
--->  Regardless of these impediments, enhanced cystoscopy is coming into the mainstream of treating bladder cancer.  Imag
--->in's i/Blue Imaging System is expected to reduce the time for physicians to visualize the cancer to ten minutes.

In its recently published 2017 Annual Meeting Highlights in Bladder Cancer, the AUA (American Urological Association) 
--->stated, "... the benefits of enhanced cystoscopy were highlighted, particularly in terms of fluorescent cystoscopy, wh
--->ich improved cancer detection and improved recurrence-free survival."  The conclusion is that the use of photo-dynamic
---> diagnosis increases the detection of bladder cancer.

Jim Hutchens, President and CEO of Imagin Medical stated, "These procedures are an exciting, growing market in urology
--->; and we believe our technology will continue the trend in enhanced cystoscopy."


About Imagin Medical  
Imagin Medical is developing imaging solutions for the early detection of cancer through the use of endoscopes. The Co
--->mpany believes it will radically improve the way physicians detect cancer. Imagin's initial target market is bladder c
--->ancer, a major cancer worldwide, the sixth most prevalent in the U.S., and the most costly cancer to treat due to a gr
--->eater than 50% recurrence rate. Developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, this advanced, ultrasensitive
---> imaging technology is based upon improved optical designs and advanced light sensors. Learn more at www.imaginmedical
