Positron Corporation (OTC: POSC) (the "Company") announced today that it has acquired an exclusive license to a coronary disease reversal and prevention practice management program created by K. Lance Gould, M.D. and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.

"We are grateful to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and Dr. Gould for selecting Positron Corporation as the exclusive licensee of their heart disease management product", stated Joe Oliverio, President of Positron. Oliverio also stated, "the market is void of such a product and will position Positron to be able to offer a total cardiac solution to customers reaching well beyond the sale to physicians."

"The Weatherhead P.E.T. Center of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston is unique for having the most advanced myocardial perfusion imaging in the world using positron emission tomography (P.E.T.) integrated with intense lifestyle and pharmacologic treatment proven to reduce invasive procedures and coronary events compared to conventional cardiovascular practices", stated K. Lance Gould, M.D., holder of the Martin Bucksbaum Distinguished University Chair, professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and executive director of the Weatherhead P.E.T. Center for Preventing and Reversing Atherosclerosis, University of Texas Medical School at Houston.

Dr. Gould went on to also state, "This first program for the optimal one-stop combination of diagnostic assessment, vigorous pharmacologic and lifestyle management is PET technology driven but incorporates the humanity and knowledge of the best preventive and clinical medicine. It identifies the earliest stages of coronary disease and before symptoms develop. It also determines when invasive procedures are unnecessary or needed for the most advanced complex coronary heart disease."

"Positron Corporation has recognized the power of this approach for improving cardiovascular care. The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston- Positron agreement highlights the commitment of the University and Positron for translating the highest quality cardiovascular medicine and research of a renowned academic center into widespread application of community practice."
