(TSXV: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) (\"Perimeter\" or the \"Company\"), announced today that\n \n Covenant Health Fort Sanders Regional\n \n is the first hospital in\n \n Tennessee\n \n to use the Company's\n \n\n S-Series\n \n\n\n\n OCT\n \n\n (Optical Coherence Tomography) technology to visualize tissue margins in the operating room.\n \n\n \"OCT technology enhances the level of care I am able to provide and has become a valuable tool in the operating room,\" said\n \n Dr.\n \n Ana Wilson\n \n\n , a surgical oncologist with Covenant Health Fort Sanders Regional. \"It allows me to make patient-specific surgical decisions in real-time and potentially reduce the likelihood of my patients returning for a second surgery.\"\n \n\n Traditional technologies such as X-ray, ultrasound or MRI don't have the resolution to see disease at the cellular level.
