Canadian computer-aided detection (CAD) software developer Medipattern has made a private placement of company stock valued at $2.5 million ($2.2 million U.S.).

The Toronto-based firm placed the stock with Sprott Asset Management and Sebago Partners Offshore Limited. Proceeds from the placement will be used for continued development of the company's B-CAD ultrasound software, to accelerate development of B-CAD MRI, and to expand into other indications such as prostate screening and diagnosis.

In other Medipattern news, the company announced an expansion of its relationship with Orison of Johnson City, TN. Orison is modifying B-CAD for use on an ultrasound-based 3D breast tomography scanner it is developing, and has agreed to pay Medipattern an additional $150,000 (U.S.) on top of the $300,000 (U.S.) involved in the original contract, first announced in December 2005.
