Breast Surgical Oncologist discusses game-changing technology in Perimeter S-Series OCT system

Natalie Stoberman is joined by Dr Amelia Tower, a Texas-based breast surgical oncologist and collaborator with Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, to discuss her recently published white paper based on case studies with Perimeter's S-Series OCT technology in breast cancer operations titled "Use of adjunct wide-field optical coherence tomography to visualize margins during breast conserving surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ: a case series" (read here https://perimetermed.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/SC-012_Case-Study-Breast-Oncology_Rev-A.pdf ).

Tower says the technology allows surgeons to examine tissue in real-time during a lumpectomy, ensuring healthy margins of tissue and reducing the need for additional surgeries. She adds that the technology can also improve overall cosmetic results and reduce emotional and financial burdens on patients.

She adds that she is hopeful that optical coherence tomography will become a standard of care for patients undergoing breast conservation therapy, and she advocates for further studies to explore the potential benefits of this technology.
