Mallinckrodt reported revenues of $2.7 billion in its fiscal 2000, up 4% compared with the $2.6 billion reported in fiscal 1999. For the period (end-June 30), the St. Louis-based vendor had earnings from continuing operations of $205 million, compared with $173 million last year.
The vendor’s imaging segment failed to keep up with other Mallinckrodt divisions, however. For the year, the firm’s imaging operations generated revenues of $770 million, down 1% from the $780 million reported last year. The imaging business had operating earnings of $84 million, compared with earnings of $119 million last year.
The story was the same for the fourth quarter, with the firm reporting sales of $206 million, down 1% from the $208 million booked in the same period last year. Operating earnings declined from $29 million in 1999 to $15 million this year, due to lower manufacturing volume as well as costs to implement alternate synthesis for ioversol, the raw material for the firm’s Optiray agent.
Mallinckrodt will hold a special shareholder meeting in New York City on September 19 to vote on its proposed acquisition by Tyco International. Tyco announced on June 28 that it would buy Mallinckrodt.

![Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
