Advanced Medical Isotopes Corporation CEO and President Switch Roles to Set Stage for Next Phase of Company’s Growth

KENNEWICK, Wash., June 11, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- James C. Katzaroff, current president of Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation (``AMIC'') (Other OTC:ADMD.PK - News) (http://www.isotopeworld.com), a company engaged in the production and distribution of medical isotopes, will become AMIC's new CEO, with former CEO William J. Stokes assuming the role of president. The change, effective immediately, reflects AMIC's plan for the growth of the company as it seeks to achieve upcoming milestones.

AMIC recently announced that it has begun producing fluorine-18 and that it has signed a Letter of Intent to purchase the Center of Molecular Research of Moscow, Russia. The company intends to increase production centers, seek additional partnerships with universities and national laboratories, and expand its role as a national supplier of medical isotopes to researchers at major universities, pharmaceutical companies, and international markets.

``The restructuring of roles marks an effort to best meet the current needs of the company, as we focus on establishing AMIC as a leader in the manufacturing and distribution of medical isotopes,'' said James C. Katzaroff. ``We have gained traction in achieving our objectives, and we believe that this shift will help us meet new goals in the future. We look forward to encountering fresh opportunities in these positions.''

``I am looking forward to my new position as president,'' said Mr. Stokes. ``AMIC has reached significant milestones in recent months, and we expect 2008 to be a tremendous year of development as AMIC continues its focus on expanded partnerships with the DOE, various national labs, and University programs.''

Nuclear Medicine, which employs the use of medical isotopes to diagnose and treat many life-threatening diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, is one of the fastest growing segments in the health industry today. In the United States more than twelve million nuclear medicine procedures are performed annually. According to the Citizens for Medical Isotopes, the demand for medical isotopes is projected to grow in the range of 8% to 20% per year for the next twenty years.
