<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER<BR>
15% SALES GROWTH AND 12% OPERATING INCOME GROWTH</B>



<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Earnings Call will take place on April&nbsp;29, 2004 at 4:00 pm Eastern</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>San Francisco, CA, April&nbsp;27, 2004 &#151; AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES
(AMEX,PCX:AMS)</B>, the leading provider of Gamma Knife&#174; radiosurgery services,
announced today financial results for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">For the first quarter of 2004 the Company&#146;s revenue rose 15% to $4,229,000 from
$3,669,000 in the same period last year. Operating income rose 12% to $817,000
from $727,000 the prior year. For first quarter 2004, net income amounted to
$370,000 or $0.07 per share (diluted)&nbsp;compared to net income of $336,000 or
$0.07 per share (diluted)&nbsp;for the year earlier quarter.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Treatments for the first quarter increased 15% compared to the same period in
2003. First quarter treatments from Gamma Knife units in operation for more
than one year decreased 4% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Excluding two Gamma Knife units, first quarter treatments increased 5% from
Gamma Knife units in operation for more than one year. The comparative results
for the two excluded centers were impacted by the unexpected death in May&nbsp;2003
and sabbatical during the majority of first quarter 2004 of the centers&#146;
primary treating neurosurgeons.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Commenting on American Shared Hospital Services&#146; recent results, Craig K.
Tagawa, Chief Operating and Financial Officer, said, &#147;Double digit first
quarter treatment and operating income growth, which were new quarterly highs,
were driven by strong performances from centers opened during 2003 and,
exclusive of two centers, same Gamma Knife center treatment growth. Our focus
on market penetration and cost control has resulted in 13 consecutive quarters
of increased operating income compared to the same quarter prior year.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Ernest A. Bates, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, &#147;The
precise, non-invasive treatment of brain tumors by the Gamma Knife
revolutionized the treatment of brain tumors. With the emergence of image
guided radiation therapy, we are seeing the evolution of radiation therapy for
the body. Real-time image guided radiation therapy improves targeting
precision by reducing inaccuracies caused by organ motion and set-up errors.
In combination with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (&#147;IMRT&#148;), image
guidance should dramatically improve the delivery of radiation therapy to the
body. Clinical demand for these devices, coupled with a high acquisition cost
has generated strong interest in our Gamma Knife and IMRT services.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>American Shared Hospital Services (www.ashs.com)</B><BR>
American Shared Hospital Services is building a profitable medical services
company in an underserved niche &#151; turnkey technology solutions for advanced
radiosurgical procedures. The Company&#146;s core business is supplying hospitals
with the Gamma Knife &#151; a non-invasive treatment for malignant and benign brain
tumors, vascular malformations and trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain). The
Gamma Knife, the gold standard in radiosurgery, reduces surgical risk and
patient discomfort, resulting in a shorter hospital stay and lower risk of
complications. In most cases, Gamma Knife patients resume their normal
activities within a few days of treatment, compared to weeks or months for
patients who undergo conventional surgery. More than 250,000 patients
worldwide have already received this treatment. American Shared Hospital
Services is the world leader in providing Gamma Knife radiosurgery services.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Safe Harbor Statement</B><BR>
This press release may be deemed to contain certain forward-looking statements
with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and future plans
of American Shared Hospital Services, which involve risks and uncertainties
including, but not limited to, the risks of the Gamma Knife business and the
risks of developing its IMRT and The Operating Room for the 21st Century&#174;
programs. Further information on potential factors that could affect the
financial condition, results of operations and future plans of American Shared
Hospital Services is included in the filings of the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and the definitive Proxy Statement for the
