ITEM 2.01   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

            On October 30, 2004, E-Z-EM, Inc. (the "Company") completed the
            spin-off of its subsidiary, AngioDynamics, Inc. when it distributed
            .856377 of a share of AngioDynamics common stock as a dividend on
            each outstanding share of E-Z-EM common stock to E-Z-EM stockholders
            of record as of October 11, 2004. An aggregate of 9.2 million shares
            was distributed by the Company. A copy of the press release issued
            by the Company on November 4, 2004 announcing its completion of the
            spin-off is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is
            incorporated by reference in its entirety.

ITEM 9.01   Financial Statements and Exhibits

            (b)   Pro Forma financial information

              PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
            of the Company is based on and should be read in conjunction with
            the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
            appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
            year ended May 29, 2004 and the unaudited consolidated financial
            statements filed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
            the thirteen weeks ended August 28, 2004. The Pro Forma Condensed
            Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 28, 2004 reflects the
            financial position of the Company after giving effect to the
            spin-off of AngioDynamics and assumes the spin-off took place on
            August 28, 2004. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of
            Earnings for the thirteen weeks ended August 28, 2004 and the
            fifty-two weeks ended May 29, 2004, May 31, 2003 and June 1, 2002
            assume that the spin-off of AngioDynamics took place at the
            beginning of the fifty-two week period ended June 1, 2002.

            In the opinion of management, the accompanying pro forma condensed
            consolidated financial information includes all material adjustments
            necessary to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the
            spin-off on the historical financial information of the Company. The
            adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma
            condensed consolidated financial statements and are set forth in the
            "Pro Forma Adjustments" columns.

            The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
            has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not
            necessarily indicative of the future financial position or future
            results of operations of the Company, or of the financial position
            or results of operations of the Company that would have actually
            occurred had the transaction been in effect as of the date or for
            the periods presented.
