Startup Beat

Perimeter Medical Imaging AI (TSX.V: PINK) today announced the initiation of its ATLAS AI project that will collect images of breast tumors to both train and test their ImgAssist AI technology which is currently under development. This technology is designed to utilize a machine learning model to help surgeons identify, in real-time, if cancer is still present when performing breast-conserving surgery (“lumpectomy”). Perimeter will install  OTIS™ high-resolution imaging devices at their partner sites, and patient recruitment will begin immediately with the expectation of enrolling up to 400 patients.  This study was made possible, in part, by a $7.4 million grant awarded by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (“CPRIT”), a leading state body funding cancer research.  

The first phase of the project will focus on data collected from leading pathology labs in Texas: MD Anderson, Baylor College of Medicine, and UT Health San Antonio. Specially installed OTIS™ devices
