BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ELBIT MEDICAL IMAGING LTD. AUTHORIZES A PRIVATE ISSUANCE OF DEBENTURES IN ISRAEL

Tel Aviv, Israel, February 2, 2006, Elbit Medical Imaging Ltd. ("EMI") (NASDAQ: EMITF), announced today that its board of directors had authorized a private issuance of unsecured non-convertible debentures to investors in Israel in a maximum aggregate principal amount of approximately NIS 630 million (US Dollar 135 million).

The debentures may either be linked (principal and interest) to increases to the Israeli consumer price index and/or linked (principal and interest) to changes to the representative rate of exchange between the New Israel Shekel and the U.S. dollar. The principal amount of the debentures in any case is expected to be repayable in 10 semi-annual equal installments commencing in August 2009 and ending in February 2014.

The interest rate on the debentures will be determined in a tender, which is expected to take place on the second half of February 2006.

Today, Midroog Ltd., an affiliate of Moody's Investors Services, has informed EMI that the debentures will be rated "A2" on a local scale.

The debentures will be listed for trade on the "Institutional Retzef" which is a trading system for institutional investors in Israel. The debentures will not initially be registered for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange or any other exchange, although EMI, at its sole discretion, may elect in the future to register the debentures for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

The debentures will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an application exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not be deemed to be an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities.
