DALLAS and TORONTO, Oct. 31, 2023 /CNW/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) (FSE: 4PC) ("Perimeter" or the "Company") – a commercial-stage medical technology company – announced the initiation of an additional clinical trial site at the University of Washington / Fred Hutch Cancer Center located in Seattle, WA.

Perimeter is conducting an ongoing multi-center, randomized two-arm pivotal clinical trial evaluating the investigational Perimeter B-Series OCT combined with its proprietary ImgAssist AI software when used during breast conservation surgeries.

Meghan R.
