Medical City Dallas Hospital Adopts Perimeter's Innovative OCT Imaging Technology for Surgery
Deployment follows participation in pivotal trial of Perimeter's next-gen technology with AI for breast-conserving surgeries TORONTO and DALLAS, July 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) ("Perimeter" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical technology company, announced today that Medical City Dallas Hospital, an award-winning 899-bed acute care hospital in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, has adopted the company's current S-Series OCT (optical coherence tomography) technology for high-resolution visualization of tissue microstructures during surgery. The move comes on the heels of the hospital's participation in the pivotal, randomized controlled trial of Perimeter's next-generation B-Series device, which combines proprietary artificial intelligence ("AI") technology with OCT, and is being evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use during breast-conserving surgeries in the United States. "We are incredibly proud to partner with Medical City Dallas Hospital and its team of surgeons, who are truly innovators in their field," said Perimeter CEO Adrian Mendes. "Working with Dr. DiPasquale and Dr. Anderson and the Medical City Dallas team, who used our B-Series in the randomized controlled pivotal trial, has been invaluable to advancing our next-generation product and we are pleased that they are adopting our commercially approved S-Series to potentially enhance margin visualization in the OR." Medical City Dallas Hospital is the latest U.S. hospital to adopt the S-Series OCT, as Perimeter continues to deploy the technology nationwide. Cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2021 for a general tissue indication, S-Series OCT is a high-resolution technology that, unlike X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound, can 'see' disease at the cellular level. It is optimized down to 2mm for identifying regions of interest in tissue microstructures, and features such as blood vessels, ducts, and glands, making it ideal for visualizing surgical margins. About Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. Based in Toronto, Canada and Dallas, Texas, Perimeter Medical Imaging AI (TSX-V: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) is a medical technology company driven to transform cancer surgery with ultra-high-resolution, real-time, advanced imaging tools to address areas of high unmet medical need. Available across the U.S., our FDA-cleared Perimeter S-Series OCT system provides real-time, cross-sectional visualization of excised tissues at the cellular level. The breakthrough-device-designated investigational Perimeter B-Series OCT with ImgAssist AI represents our next-generation artificial intelligence technology that was recently evaluated in a pivotal clinical trial, with support from a grant of up to US$7.4 million awarded by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. The company's ticker symbol "PINK" is a reference to the pink ribbons used during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. S-Series OCT Intended Use and Unapproved Uses The S-Series OCT is indicated for use as an imaging tool in the evaluation of excised human tissue microstructure by providing two-dimensional, cross-sectional, real-time depth visualization with image review manipulation software for identifying and annotating regions of interest. Perimeter S-Series OCT has 510(k) clearance under a general indication and has not been evaluated by the U.S. FDA specifically for use in breast tissue, breast cancer, other types of cancer, margin evaluation, and reducing re-excision rates. The safety and effectiveness of these uses has not been established.

Afternoon Briefing: Community wants city's hate-group task force to focus on police
Good afternoon, Chicago. Metra hired a team of outside lawyers, who worked more than seven months, to conduct an internal investigation that cost the agency nearly $1.57 million. But the outcome of the 2023 investigation remains shrouded, after the rail agency refused to make public reports or memos produced by the law firm, McGuireWoods. The investigation stemmed from anonymous complaints made to Metra about the agency's Police Department, and bills from the attorneys hint at the scope of the work: McGuireWoods undertook analysis related to an 'investigation of potential disparate treatment.' Also included among 130 pages of attorneys bills was reference to 'EEO' incidents and complaints, according to documents obtained by the Tribune through a Freedom of Information Act request.
