Perimeter Medical Imaging AI announced that HonorHealth, a major healthcare system in Phoenix and Scottsdale, has become Arizona's first to implement their S-Series OCT technology for visualizing tissue margins during surgery.

The groundbreaking Optical Coherence Tomography technology offers superior resolution compared to traditional imaging methods, enabling visualization at the cellular level. It creates 3D images with 10 times the resolution of ultrasound and X-ray, and 100 times that of MRI, helping surgeons make real-time decisions during procedures.

Key advantages include:

  • 2mm resolution optimization for tissue microstructures
  • Real-time visualization of surgical margins
  • FDA clearance for general tissue imaging since 2021

This deployment represents a significant expansion of Perimeter's commercial presence in the Southwest, potentially reducing the need for follow-up surgeries that typically result from waiting up to 10 days for traditional pathology results.

Perimeter Medical Imaging AI ha annunciato che HonorHealth, un importante sistema sanitario di Phoenix e Scottsdale, è diventato il primo in Arizona ad adottare la tecnologia S-Series OCT per visualizzare i margini tissutali durante gli interventi chirurgici.

La rivoluzionaria tecnologia di Tomografia a Coerenza Ottica offre una risoluzione superiore rispetto ai metodi di imaging tradizionali, permettendo la visualizzazione a livello cellulare. Produce immagini 3D con una risoluzione 10 volte superiore a quella di ecografia e radiografia, e 100 volte superiore a quella della risonanza magnetica, aiutando i chirurghi a prendere decisioni in tempo reale durante le procedure.

I principali vantaggi includono:

  • Ottimizzazione della risoluzione a 2 mm per le microstrutture tissutali
  • Visualizzazione in tempo reale dei margini chirurgici
  • Autorizzazione FDA per l'imaging generale dei tessuti dal 2021

Questa implementazione rappresenta un'importante espansione della presenza commerciale di Perimeter nel Sud-Ovest, con il potenziale di ridurre la necessità di interventi chirurgici successivi, solitamente causati dall'attesa fino a 10 giorni per i risultati della patologia tradizionale.

Perimeter Medical Imaging AI는 피닉스와 스코츠데일의 주요 의료 시스템인 HonorHealth가 수술 중 조직 경계를 시각화하기 위해 자사의 S-Series OCT 기술을 아리조나 주 최초로 도입했다고 발표했습니다.

혁신적인 광학 단층 촬영 기술은 기존 영상 기법에 비해 우수한 해상도를 제공하며, 세포 수준의 시각화를 가능하게 합니다. 초음파 및 엑스레이 해상도의 10배, MRI 해상도의 100배에 달하는 3D 영상을 생성하여 수술 중 실시간 의사 결정을 지원합니다.

주요 장점은 다음과 같습니다:

  • 조직 미세구조를 위한 2mm 해상도 최적화
  • 수술 경계의 실시간 시각화
  • 2021년부터 일반 조직 영상에 대한 FDA 승인 획득

이번 도입은 Perimeter가 미국 남서부 지역에서 상업적 입지를 크게 확장하는 의미가 있으며, 전통적인 병리 검사 결과를 최대 10일간 기다려야 하는 상황에서 발생하는 추가 수술 필요성을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대됩니다.

TORONTO and DALLAS, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) ("Perimeter" or the "Company") announced today that HonorHealth, a leading healthcare system serving more than five million people in the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale areas, is the first in Arizona to deploy the Company's S- Series OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) technology to visualize tissue margins in the operating room ("OR").

"Having the most advanced technologies in the operating room to assist my decision-making in real-time is incredibly valuable," said Dr. Sommer Gunia, a breast surgical oncologist with HonorHealth. "OCT imaging technology allows me to see at a depth and resolution that was previously impossible in the OR, and it has become an important tool that helps me achieve the best possible outcomes for my patients."

Traditional technologies such as X-ray, ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI") don't have the resolution to see disease at the cellular level. As a result, surgeons must wait up to 10 days for pathology results to either confirm clean margins or show positive margins, which often result in patients returning for another procedure. The resolution of the S-Series OCT is optimized down to 2 mm for identifying regions of interest in tissue microstructures and features such as blood vessels, ducts and glands, making it ideal for visualizing surgical margins and helping surgeons to make the best surgical decisions for their patients. It uses light to create cross-sectional 3D images of tissue microstructures at 10 times the resolution of ultrasound and X-ray and 100 times the resolution of MRI. The S-Series OCT was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2021 for general tissue imaging.

"HonorHealth's adoption of the S-Series OCT continues our nationwide commercial expansion and increases patient access to the technology in one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the Southwest," said Perimeter CEO Adrian Mendes. "The ongoing adoption of our S-Series OCT reflects both the need for enhanced margin visualization in the operating room and confidence in our technology to improve patient outcomes. We are thrilled to partner with HonorHealth."
