Exhibit 99.1



             Digirad Adopts Stockholder Rights Plan


     POWAY, CALIFORNIA, November 21, 2005 -- Digirad Corporation
(NASDAQ:DRAD), a leader in providing imaging services and solid-state
medical imaging products to physician offices, hospitals and imaging
centers, today announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a
stockholder rights plan.
     The stockholder rights plan is designed to guard against partial
tender offers and other coercive tactics to gain control of the Company
without offering a fair and adequate price and terms to all of Digirad's
stockholders.
     Under the plan, Digirad will issue a dividend of one right for each
share of its Common Stock held by stockholders of record as of the close
of business on December 12, 2005. Each right will initially entitle
stockholders to purchase a fractional share of the Company's preferred
stock for $20. However, the rights are not immediately exercisable and
will become exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain events. If a
person or group acquires, or announces a tender or exchange offer that
would result in the acquisition of, 20% or more of Digirad Common Stock
while the stockholder rights plan remains in place, then, unless the
rights are redeemed by Digirad for $0.001 per right, the rights will
become exercisable by all rights holders except the acquiring person or
group, for shares of Digirad or shares of the third party acquirer
having a value of twice the right's then-current exercise price. Further
details of the plan are outlined in a letter that will be mailed to
stockholders as of the record date.
