Elsevier Partners With ASRT to Provide Multi-Media Educational Modules on Computed Tomography Through Mosby's Imaging Suite

Partnership Makes Leading CT Basics Series Available to Health Care Organizations

PHILADELPHIA, August 19, 2010 - Elsevier, the world's leading publisher of scientific, technical, and
medical information products and services, today announced an exclusive
partnership with The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) to
provide a complete series of computed tomography modules through Mosby's
Imaging Suite for technologists' continuing education. This partnership will
provide technologists access to the highest quality continuing education, and
will give hospital management the best tools to ensure patient safety.

Mosby's Imaging Suite is the first fully integrated, online solution
developed to meet the routine communication, workflow, education, and
compliance challenges of radiologic technologists and managers. Hospitals
will be able to licence the CT Basics modules through Mosby's Imaging Suite,
and allow access to the entire radiological staff.

"This partnership comes at a critical time when hospitals want to make
sure their staff is qualified, certified and continually educated to increase
patient safety and reduce exposure," said Leslie Zacks, Director of Product
Development at Elsevier. "As a result of this partnership, hospitals can now
provide a full range of CT e-learning modules where technologists receive
credits for their participation, providing a significant advantage for the
department."

Composed of 10 interactive modules, the CT Basics series provides
radiologic technologists (RTs) with a full overview of the fundamentals of
computed tomography. The modules feature colorful images with
easy-to-understand animations that engage participants in the learning
process. The complete package covers a broad range of CT topics, including
fundamentals of CT; equipment and instrumentation; data acquisition,
applications, imaging processing and reconstruction; patient safety, imaging
quality, procedures; and sectional anatomy and pathology.

"This is a wonderful opportunity to help radiologic technologists secure
the information they need to safely and efficiently work in CT," said Myke
Kudlas, M.Ed., R.T.(R)(QM), ASRT vice president of education and research.
"Mosby's Imaging Suite is a great vehicle to distribute the CT Basics content
and educate technologists about this growing practice area."

Because CT training often is not provided in the classroom, many
technologists learn this specialty through hands-on experience and on-the-job
training. With ASRT's CT Basics modules available through Mosby's Imaging
Suite, technologists will now be able to learn the basics through
self-directed learning, in addition to on-the-job training.

Radiologic technologists will earn 14 Category A continuing education
credits and receive a Recognition of Achievement from the ASRT following the
successful completion of all 10 modules. The complete CT module package will
be available through Mobsy's Imaging Suite beginning in Q4 2010.
