Novadaq's OPTTX System Data Presented at ARVO
Date:5/9/2008

Visual Acuity Reported to Remain Stable or Improve in 86% at Six Months

TORONTO, May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Novadaq(R) Technologies Inc. (TSX: NDQ), a developer of real-time imaging and image guidance systems for use in the operating room, today announced that independent data was presented at the recent Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, April 26 - May 1, 2008. Data from two of the three European hospitals currently using the OPTTX-2N1(R) System in commercial practice was presented. Sacco Hospital in Milan Italy and University Hospital of Coventry in Coventry, England are using OPTTX routinely in the evaluation and treatment of patients with wet Age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Retinal specialists from Sacco Hospital reported on 28 patients treated for naive wet AMD or having failed other treatments. The authors reported that the device uniquely facilitates identification and treatment of feeder vessels (FVs). Visual acuity (VA) results at six months demonstrate that the vast majority (86%) of the patients remained stable or improved, and the technique appeared to be safe and reproducible. These data suggests that treatment with the OPTTX device can be used as an alternative to the anti-VEGF drugs. Moreover, it appears the treatment can be safely applied before, after or in-combination anti-VEGF treatment. Further follow up results for this patient cohort will be reported at the upcoming Euroretina meeting to be held in Vienna Austria, May 26-31, 2008.

In a second poster presentation, Dr. Sergio Pagliarini from the University Hospital of Coventry also reported on his experience as a first time user of OPTTX. Dr. Pagliarini prospectively treated 14 patients and concluded that after the initial learning curve associated with OPTTX, use of a real-time visualization and treatment system was feasible, safe, and relatively easy having achieved success in the majority of
