CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

*

The transaction valuation is an estimate calculated solely for the purposes of determining the amount of the filing fee in accordance with Rule 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The transaction valuation is calculated by multiplying $18.75, the per share tender offer price, by 16,214,983 shares of common stock of Vital Images, which includes (a) 14,036,517 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (including 18,750 shares of restricted stock) and (b) 2,178,466 shares of common stock subject to outstanding stock options with an exercise price less than $18.75 (including 12,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Vital Images Employee Stock Purchase Plan), as of May 6, 2011, the most recent practicable date.

**

The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Exchange Act and Fee Advisory #5 for fiscal year 2011, issued December 22, 2010, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.0001161.

        This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Schedule TO") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 11, 2011, by Magenta Corporation ("Purchaser"), a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation ("TMSC"), a company formed under the laws of Japan and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toshiba Corporation ("Toshiba"), a company formed under the laws of Japan. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Vital Images, Inc. ("Vital Images"), a Minnesota corporation, at a purchase price of $18.75 per Share, in cash, net to the seller, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 11, 2011 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related letter of transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Letter of Transmittal", and together with the Offer to Purchase, the "Offer"), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B). This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Purchaser, TMSC and Toshiba.

        The information contained in the Schedule TO remains unchanged, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Item 11.    Additional Information.

        Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph as the last paragraph of "Section 16—Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals":

        "Litigation.    On May 10, 2011, stockholder Judith J. Rivkin served Vital Images with a complaint brought on behalf of herself and a putative class of public shareholders of Vital Images (the "Complaint"). Vital Images understands that the Complaint has been filed in Hennepin County District Court of the State of Minnesota. The Complaint purports to allege claims for breach of fiduciary duties against Vital Images' directors Michael Carrel, James Hickey, Douglas Pihl, Richard Perkins, Michael Vannier, Sven Wehrwein, Gregory Peet and Oran Muduroglu (the "Individual Defendants") and aiding and abetting against Vital Images (collectively, with the Individual Defendants, the "Defendants"), in connection with the proposed transaction with TMSC. The Complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, including an order enjoining, preliminarily and permanently, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and if the transaction is consummated prior to the entry of a final judgment, "rescinding" the transaction or awarding rescissory damages. The Complaint further seeks fees and costs, including attorneys' and experts' fees. The Complaint is captioned Rivkin v. Michael Carrel et al."
