Exhibit 99.1

Fischer Imaging Special Meeting Adjourned to September 28, 2005

DENVER, September 21, 2005— Fischer Imaging Corporation adjourned the special meeting of stockholders that took place today in order for Fischer to solicit additional proxies to vote on the proposed asset purchase transaction between Fischer and Hologic, Inc.  The special stockholder meeting is scheduled to be reconvened on September 28, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. at the offices of Fischer.  Approval of the transaction requires the affirmative vote of a majority of Fischer’s outstanding shares of common stock.

Gail Schoettler, Chair of the Board of Directors, stated:  “While we did receive enough proxies to constitute a quorum, the total number of proxies granted in favor of the transaction did not represent the required majority of outstanding shares.  We remain hopeful that we can obtain enough additional affirmative votes to approve the transaction, which we believe remains the best transaction available for Fischer and its stakeholders.  If the transaction is not approved, Fischer will have no other alternative than to initiate bankruptcy proceedings.  We do not think this is in the best interests of Fischer or its stakeholders and therefore strongly encourage all stockholders to vote to approve the asset sale transaction.”
