                           Rapiscan 3D Imaging Order


The Company is pleased to announce that an order has been received worth £90,000
from its sales and marketing partner Rapiscan Security Products Limited 
('Rapiscan') for the delivery in November of a number of 3D x-ray imaging
systems (the AXIS-3D(R)) for incorporation in Rapiscan's recently launched three
dimensional x-ray baggage scanner, the 3D20.

Ian Johnson, Chairman of Image Scan said:

'The agreement on short term funding announced recently has created a platform
to raise the long term funds the Company needs. This process has been greatly
assisted by this new Rapiscan order which is the first significant customer sale
made since Rapiscan's launch of the 3D20 product. The order represents a key
milestone in the endorsement and promotion of our unique 3D security screening
technology. We believe the excellent image quality and 3D technology provide
significant benefits to a market continually seeking better detection capability
and higher performance products.'

Peter Williamson, Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Rapiscan, said:

'Following the 3D20 launch in the summer and the arrival of the new larger
tunnel size 100cm x 80cm unit, interest is building as customers formulate
specifications, issue tenders, and submit bids. The delivery of this first
significant order should see increased interest and further orders for the core
3D product over the forthcoming months.  In particular we are continuing to
market the product on a worldwide basis to gain product acceptance, which will
be assisted now a prestigious customer has decided to use this unique technology
in meeting its x-ray security screening requirements.'
