Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of Vital Images, Inc.

Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Vital Images, Inc. ("Vital" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:VTAL) concerning the announcement that it had entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation and a merger subsidiary ("Toshiba”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Vital for $18.75 per share, or approximately $273 million in the aggregate, through a cash tender offer followed by a merger.

On April 27, 2011, it was announced that Toshiba agreed to buy Vital. The deal is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2011.
