Lansing, MI, March 02, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Block Imaging International, Inc., the premier global
provider of pre-owned, refurbished medical imaging equipment, parts and services announces a new
venture in Europe. Block, since 1997, has sourced and sold systems throughout the EMEA region
(Europe, Middle East and Africa). The Company recognizes the incredible growth in demand for
pre-owned and refurbished systems in Europe and, the somewhat limited opportunities for sellers of used
systems to find partners with a global reach; a reach that allows equipment to find its way throughout the
world to buyers offering best pricing. To meet this rising demand throughout Europe, Block has entered
into an exclusive representative agreement with Consulting4Healthcare, led by Christos Salvanos, who
will serve as Block Imaging's Head of EMEA Region.

Mr. Salvanos, in this new role, will lead the company's regional initiative in the remarketing of medical
equipment from a sales and sourcing perspective. Salvanos brings a significant industry background and
years of experience in the healthcare equipment market that began in 1990. After studies in Economics at
the University of Bonn in Germany he started his career in the healthcare market. In 2001 he served as
Head of Sales International at UMS-NEUROMED AG with direct reporting to the CEO.
UMS-NEUROMED AG specialized in medical diagnostic mobile interim solutions for hospitals in
Europe and the remarketing of imaging equipment. After working for Siemens Financial Services in the
Asset Management Healthcare department as Senior Asset Manager for Asia and Europe until end of
2008, he formed his own company, Consulting4Healthcare, which provides procurement consulting and
product lifecycle management solutions to hospitals and other end-users.

Bruce Block, President and Founder of Block Imaging International, stated “This decision to establish a
formal office in the greater European region and to have representation by Mr. Salvanos, with his years of
experience and deep connections at every level of the imaging and financial communities, will be a very
strategic event for us as we continue our global expansion. European hospitals have never needed better
outsourcing options more, never been more accepting of pre-owned equipment, and Block has never been
better positioned to capitalize on this new paradigm.”

Mr. Salvanos will join the new Block Imaging office in Germany to offer the region local representation
for the purchase and sales of pre-owned imaging equipment, spare parts and engineering services. Block,
simultaneously, will also roll out its innovative “Partnership” program during the upcoming ECR 2011
annual meeting in Vienna, which offers a complete array of services specifically designed to give
hospitals and financing companies a one-stop-shop for equipment valuations, inspections, removals, spare
parts, financing opportunities and engineering services.
