- HonorHealth becomes the first in Arizona to deploy Perimeter Medical Imaging's (PYNKF, Financial) S-Series OCT for surgical tissue margin visualization.
- The technology provides 10x resolution over ultrasound/X-ray and 100x over MRI, potentially reducing the need for follow-up surgeries.
- Perimeter expands into the Southwest's major metropolitan area, enhancing patient access to advanced imaging tools.
Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (PYNKF) has announced a significant deployment of its S-Series OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) technology by HonorHealth, a major healthcare provider in Phoenix and Scottsdale. This marks the first-time deployment of this groundbreaking technology in Arizona, which is designed to assist surgeons in visualizing tissue margins in real time during operations.
The S-Series OCT stands out in the field of medical imaging due to its superior resolution capabilities. It provides images with 10 times the resolution of traditional ultrasound and X-ray methods and 100 times that of MRI, making it possible for surgeons to view tissue at a cellular level. This level of detail enables precise real-time surgical decisions, potentially reducing the need for patients to return for additional surgeries, which often result from the standard 10-day wait for pathology results.
Since receiving FDA clearance in 2021 for general tissue imaging, Perimeter's presence in the U.S. market has been expanding. The collaboration with HonorHealth not only signifies a strategic growth in the Southwest region, particularly in one of the most populous areas, but also underscores the healthcare provider's commitment to using advanced technology to improve surgical outcomes for over 5 million residents in the surrounding areas.
