Imaging product developer ImageScan is understood to be poised to launch a key new security-linked product next week.

AIM-quoted Image Scan develops 3D multi-view and X-ray imaging technologies for the security and industrial inspection markets. An AIM dog to date, the company, which lost £1.2 million in the year to September 2004, produces a range of 'solutions', including the R&D MDXI unit and the in-line DEX camera, as well as the AXIS-3D baggage inspection system, marketed by Rapsian in its 3DSP and 3DLP product lines.

Observers believe the new product will address some particular current security concerns. Investors who subscribed three years ago to Image Scan's float at 65p by broker Keith Bayley Rodgers will hope the launch will do something to lift the shares from their present 9.75p.
