Intermountain Health and Perimeter Medical Imaging Study OCT & AI’s Impact on Reducing Cancer Reoperations and Associated Clinical, Social, and Economic Outcomes
Perimeter Medical Imaging AI partners with Intermountain Health to reduce cancer reoperation rates using advanced OCT imaging and AI. The collaboration, via a Development Support Agreement, will first analyze breast-conserving surgery outcomes to validate the clinical and economic impact of Perimeter’s FDA-cleared S-Series OCT and upcoming AI-driven B-Series device. Intermountain’s integrated healthcare-insurance model enables comprehensive assessment of reoperation costs and patient outcomes. CEO Adrian Mendes noted the data will inform FDA strategies and expansion into new surgical areas. A 2023 study estimated $1.2B annual U.S. costs for repeat breast cancer surgeries, which Perimeter’s real-time margin assessment aims to reduce.
