Celebrating Perimeter: An Award-Winning Approach to Clearer Margins

TAG'D: Beyond The Award

In this episode of TAG’D: Beyond the Award, Justin Starbird sits down with Adrian Mendes, CEO of Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, the Top Innovator of the inaugural TAG Awards for MedTech 2025 for Surgical Imaging & AI Integration.

At the intersection of AI and real-time surgical decision-making, Perimeter’s OCT System with Image Assist AI is setting a new bar for cancer surgery. Designed to help surgeons visualize critical tissue margins on the spot, their next-generation platform is reducing the need for repeat surgeries and improving patient outcomes — all while accelerating adoption through intuitive design and continuous software-driven improvements.

Built on a foundation of deep imaging science, AI integration, and regulatory rigor, this is more than a product — it’s a platform with the power to redefine how surgical oncology is practiced, starting with breast cancer and expanding into broader cancer applications.
