TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan 14, 2014) - Novadaq® Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:NVDQ)(TSX:NDQ) ("Novadaq" or the "Company"), a developer of clinically-relevant imaging solutions for use in surgical and outpatient wound care procedures, is pleased to announce preliminary unaudited revenue for the fourth quarter 2013 of approximately $10.7 million, bringing expected full year 2013 revenues to approximately $35.0 million. The preliminary unaudited quarterly numbers have not gone through review and audit procedures by the Company's external auditors and may differ from actual revenues.
