THOMAS SOS PRESENTING AT THE TCT 2002 CONFERENCE Westbury, New York, August 6, 2002 Queensbury, NY; September 24, 2002 - AngioDynamics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of E-Z-EM, Inc., (AMEX: EZM.A and EZM.B) announced today that Dr. Thomas Sos, Professor and Vice Chairman of Radiology and Past Chief of Interventional Radiology of New York Presbyterian Hospital, will be presenting on the Feasibility of MRA with a MR transparent stent, the AngioDynamics Biliary OmniFlexä 15mm Platinum Stent at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2002 conference in Washington, DC. In addition, Dr. Sos will also be presenting on September 27th on the "Top 10 Tips for Renal Stenting". The OMNIFLEX(TM) 15MM BILIARY STENT is Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) compatible due to its platinum material and design characteristics. The platinum OMNIFLEX(TM) is nonferromagnetic, which has been shown to produce significantly less artifacts than stainless steel or nitinol stents during MRA procedures. Artifacts can reduce the visibility of the lumen and make accurate assessment of the patency of that lumen more difficult. Commenting on the announcement, Eamonn P. Hobbs, President/CEO of AngioDynamics, said, "AngioDynamics is pleased to have such a well respected expert in his field present on his clinical experience with the AngioDynamics Stent at this international conference." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The statements made in this document contain certain forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
