Have a good weekend!
A PR from june 30,2006 on iMD HeartScan where Julian Risler is interviewed and based on the PR I can now say that iMD and AMMA is definitely susidiaries. Also note the revenue model for iHeartsCAN:
Heart smart
Company wants patients to understand scan results
South Florida Business Journal - by Brian Bandell
Using his portable ultrasound machine, Integrated Medical Diagnostics President Julian Rinsler scans Amie Lawson for heart trouble.
Medical patients who want a record of their last heart scan usually get a picture of their insides and maybe some handwritten notes. But Julian Rinsler would rather they receive something more easily understood.
His company, Integrated Medical Diagnostics, has developed a software program designed to make the results of ultrasounds of the carotid artery in the neck more useful for doctors and patients. The images are interpreted into a report card that grades the patient on several health factors by taking into account a database of people with similar characteristics. The report then makes recommendations ranging from medications to dieting.
In June, Rinsler moved his company into the Enterprise Development Corporation incubator at Florida Atlantic University, from which he recently graduated.
Rinsler has just rolled out the latest version of his product, which he sells to doctors for $25,000 with a portable ultrasound machine and $8,000 for just the laptop computer with the program. A doctor can whip out the machine to scan the patient, record the patient's biographical information into the laptop and send it to a company in Utah Rinsler has contracted to do the readings.
Integrated Medical Diagnostics charges doctors $85 per scan and doctors are usually reimbursed between $208 and $275 per scan, depending on location and patient coverage. Since scan interpretation is outsourced, the doctor doesn't need a staff radiologist.
The test result is supposed to be ready the next day, but Rinsler still has some kinks to work out. A scan done in his office recently took four days to read as he puts the finishing touches on his software program and integrates it with the scanners.
"Once we figure this out will take 10 or 30 minutes to read," said Bruce Collett, CEO of IMT Healthscan, which is reading the images out of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Collett's company reads ultrasound scans at doctors offices through its own contract and through referring companies like Integrated Medical Diagnostics. Where Rinsler's company differentiates itself is in its software, Collett said.
The program measures intima-media thickness, which is one of the leading indicators of heart trouble when the walls of the artery are too thick. It also measures the narrowing of the arteries and assesses the amount of plaque built up in the arteries.
These results are compared to patients of similar age, gender and race in IMT Healthscan's database of 9,500 scans.
The report gives the patients letter grades in these areas, tells them their risk level and gives them their "vascular age." The program accesses the database to make treatment recommendations for the patient and doctors based on medical guidelines.
"This is an excellent technology that we find extremely useful," said Dr. Dennis Peterson, of Bountiful, Utah, who uses Integrated Medical Diagnostics' program with his ultrasound. "We use the thickness readings to identify people who can be left off medication and people who need it."
Rinsler hopes to do the readings in house once he grows his company. He started AMMA Consulting in 2001 "because I needed a job," he said. AMMA also offers financial and management consulting to medical practices as well as a weight loss center franchise model in addition to its Integrated Medical Diagnostics subsidiary. Snapshot:

Will do more research over the weekend and post if I find anything more definitive...
What does PMD have to do with IMD?
I don't flip...I buy stock in emerging small cap stocks that has a solid product and growth model. Most of my stocks I keep for 1-2years and make >10000% percent on my initial investment.
I specialize in Pharmaceutical/Biotech/HealthCare/Medical Devices companies and know the industry trends inside and out. IMD interest me because their business model and product is very close to another PET medical imaging & Nuclear Pharma Company I'm invested in long term
IMD President, Saeb Yannoun Linked in profile:
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/saeb-jannoun/18/591/191
Notic he resides in St Petersburg, FL. That is across the bay from Tampa where the new offices at 14310 N. Dale Mabry HighWay, Tampa FL of IMD Companies is located as per the SunBiz filings
My point indeed....
Rainmaker,
Can you confirm for this board that you still owe ICBU stock today or did you sell yesterday as some is claiming on this board?
Just called Mr Saeb Jannoun at Integrated Medical Diagnostics Companies Inc. (IMD) 1877-343-2783 @ ext 83 from their contact us page ....
http://www.pciheartscan.com/contact-us.php
and asked him if he can confirm in IMD is merging into ICBU and he politely said "I can't answer that question". So here is my take...If it wasn't true then he could have just said "no that is not true or I don't know what you are talking about....But instead he declined to answer the question..
Integrated Medical Diagnostic (iMD) companies offers diagnostics and supplements to help reduce the incidence of Heart Attack, strokes, and diabetes...
IMD mission statement...
Here is the link to the new website for IMD Companies Inc. (Integrated Medical Diagnostic Companies Inc). It is still under construction but the logo is final:

We should close above >0.014 today if we have a nice bounce after 2pm
0.0145 is a resitance point. Bounced of it yesterday!
Trading like the float is all locked up and the MM's is begging for shares.
Our time has come for all longs of MTPR. Things getting started and should come alife over the next few weeks with the marketing campaign.
My kind of food...Yummm
Provide evidence then I will believe.
Yip..They are shorting this stock right now! Big Time...
Just to clarify, Dr. Weinberg is Chief Scientific Officer of the Positron and he use to own Naviscan. Naviscan was sold in 2008 to a Private Equities firm in San Fran.
Dr Weinberg has developed and patented the only Positron Emission Mammogram scanner (PEM)on the market. Dr Weinberg owns about 10patents and have 5 filed with POSC, one of the patents is described in the PR below. The one other patent of note that POSC/Weinberg is awaiting approval for is for a microscopic surgical robotic arm to be used with PET scanners for microscopic heart surgeries. I will look the patent up again and post the link for people that is interested in reading about it.
It's going to be another ground breaking piece of technology by Dr Weinberg and POSC
Thanks for posting that@
Just JJ's way of saying he needs to go and have lunch!
What a beauty up she goes...'73 and 74's up now.
Part of what we see today in the spike of the PPS is a bounce from oversold yesterday and some short covering by MM's from 13days ago of 522,460 shares shorted.
Thank you! I feel old when POSC declines but get revived with youthful infusion when we have these green days. Now if we continue to see green going forward then I can celebrate my 16th B.day again. LOL
L2 1X 0.072, 3X0.074 and then the 8's
Nice step up today. Perdict a mid 7's close by EOD.
