Fischer Imaging's revenue is down as it prepares an FDA submission for its SenoScan full-field digital mammography system.Revenue decreased 3% to $13.7 for the first quarter of 2000 (end April 2) compared to $14.2 million for the first quarter of 1999. These figures do not include the sale of a $6.2 million technology license to GE Medical.
