Now, I would like to turn the call over to Adrian. Thanks, Jodi. Good afternoon, everyone. I'm excited to host this first quarterly call since taking on the role of Perimeter CEO in early June. Today, I'll walk through an update on the immense amount of work that we have done within this initial 90-day period since our leadership transition, where we're at with both our commercial and clinical development plans, and an overview of our business strategy going forward and the key milestones ahead. I'll, I'll also ask Andrew to provide some detail around our next gen technology and product developments and highlight some key areas of product innovation at Perimeter. I'll then wrap up with some concluding remarks before we open the call for your questions. Before diving in, I think it's important to discuss what drew me to Perimeter and some of my initial observations. When I was approached with this leadership opportunity, I did my due diligence and was impressed by the sophisticated innovation work being done, of course, on the artificial intelligence front, but also across the board. As many of you know, I come from a tech background and can see the extremely compelling rationale for combining advanced AI with Perimeter's novel OCT medical imaging platform. The promise of next gen AI was a key element that attracted me to Perimeter, but a big factor was also the fact that the team included globally recognized leaders on our board, such as Anantha Kancherla, who's the former head of AI platform at Meta. I was drawn to the opportunity to address a significant unmet need in cancer surgery and focus my efforts on improving the lives of patients by assisting surgeons with the introduction of new technologies while also reducing healthcare costs. It's important to note that AI is only one pillar of Perimeter's technology platform, and I believe there is strong product market fit for our commercially available S-Series OCT, which has the potential to be a game-changing technology for margin visualization. Cancer surgeons have long recognized the challenge of achieving negative margins while preserving healthy tissue during surgery. Traditional intraoperative imaging modalities do not deliver the resolution to visualize microscopic features associated with cellular-level disease. Since it's several days or weeks before pathology reports on margin status are available, if they show positive margins, patients must typically return to the operating room for another procedure due to cancer left behind. One of the goals at Perimeter is to change the standard of care in breast conserving surgery by delivering innovative technology solutions. What was exciting for me to learn about Perimeter is that today we offer the only intraoperative OCT imaging technology with the resolution to visualize tissue structures at the cellular level, down to the critical 2-millimeter depth, and especially with 10x higher image resolution than X-ray and ultrasound, and 100x greater image resolution than MRI. In addition, I believe the importance of our single-use consumable, a key element of our razor/razor blade model, is often overlooked. The engineering of our proprietary tissue immobilizer solution creates distributed pressure without distortion of the margins, allowing surgeons to make informed decisions in their ORs while preserving the sample for pathology. And finally, the Atlas image library, which we use to train our AI models. It currently has over 2 million images and represents a broad-based tissue library for training and for reference.... So based on all that, I saw, and I continue to see, the amazing growth potential for our platform and believe I can apply both my past experience scaling cutting-edge technology companies and my operational knowledge leading hardware, software, AI, product, and commercial teams to address this meaningful problem of ineffective margin assessment in the OR. Expanding the user base of our commercial stage, revenue-generating S- series, it is foundational to our business strategy, and I'll also walk through some recent accomplishments on that front shortly. Okay, with that backdrop, let's dive into my observations and the team's accomplishments from the last 90 days. We've conducted a thorough review of the business and made some important decisions I'll run through today. These broadly group into three areas. First is our leadership group and employee base as a whole. Second is our clinical development work, and third is our go-to-market and commercial efforts. Beginning first with the leadership team itself, concurrent with my appointment, Dr. Josh Vose joined our board of directors and has provided invaluable insights into our clinical development program. In addition, I'm pleased to report that Sara Brien will become Perimeter's Chief Financial Officer, effective September first. We're grateful for Russ Wagner's service as our interim CFO, and he and Sara will work together to ensure a smooth transition. I'm also pleased to confirm that we have named Andrew Berkeley, one of Perimeter's cofounders, as Chief Innovation Officer. This new role reflects not only Andrew's valued contributions as a member of our senior executive team, but also his proven track record as a trailblazer that continues to develop game-changing technologies to ensure we have a robust product development pipeline for years to come. Today, I'll ask Andrew to speak to the promise of some of these earlier-stage developments. We believe that these changes at the leadership level will help support our goals to improve morale, increase employee retention, and remove any silos preventing effective collaboration across the org as a whole. Across the business, we are striving to apply resources and refocus where needed and encourage a re-energized, collaborative approach to our work. I'll speak about this in the context of both our clinical and commercial groups now. Okay, so turning now to our AI technology and the clinical development of Perimeter's B-Series OCT with ImgAssist AI, I'm pleased to report that we have received approval from the FDA to introduce an enhanced AI algorithm into the ongoing clinical trial under the existing protocol. Importantly, all clinical trial sites, including the newest trial sites we've added last quarter, which are the Mayo Clinic and Baptist MD Anderson in Florida, are now cleared as of this month to begin using the updated AI. This version 2.0 of our AI takes advantage of a large amount of additional training data and big improvements to the model architecture. It demonstrates improved sensitivity, specificity, precision, and recall, and it's expected that this updated version of the AI will contribute to more accurate classifications, as well as, most importantly, fewer false positives and fewer false negatives. I'll ask Andrew to expand upon the significant benefits of the updated AI later in the call. We're currently engaged in ongoing discussions with the FDA to reach alignment on subject enrollment and secondary reporting, and this is expected over the next couple of weeks. Updated guidance on study completion will be provided following receipt of the FDA feedback. While this decision to introduce the improved AI will certainly extend the anticipated study completion date, we firmly believe that this is the right decision, and the best course of action to ultimately deliver better technology to our surgeons and their patients. Most importantly, this approach ensures that we don't have to run a separate later trial to bring version 2.0 to the market. To date, with our breakthrough device designation, our regulatory interactions have been very productive, and we're confident we can reach alignment on key elements of the trial and drive the development of the B-Series forward in the clinic. Once we receive feedback from the FDA, we intend to update and refine our guidance in the next couple of weeks. We are committed to assigning resources as needed, while tapping into the expertise we have on our board from Dr. Vose to drive as quickly as possible towards a successful completion of the clinical trial in anticipation of a data package that will support the commercialization of our next-gen B-Series product in the future. Turning to the commercial organization, we are staying true to our strategy to identify high-profile reference sites, and engage with key opinion leaders to help build a strong foundation for our initial early adopter customer base. We have a strong sales team with extensive medical device experience that's currently based in key regions in the U.S. We continue to receive positive feedback from existing customers about the service and support that they've received from the Perimeter team. Of note, we also continue to generate new sales leads and demos and have successfully expanded into the states of Utah and Georgia just in the last quarter. The overall sample size of S-Series enabled procedures continues to grow. We're seeing positive results from this early adopter user base, with a backdrop of a national average reoperation rate ranging anywhere from 15%-25%. Initial anecdotal reports from our customers show single-digit results, when using our technology to visualize their margins intraoperatively. We continue to gather these data and consolidate some of these reports with the goal of publishing white papers and articles that provide further clinical evidence of the benefits of Perimeter OCT. With these commercial strengths identified, we've also identified some gaps. We see the need to focus some amount of resources on helping with user workflow to help the experience in the OR. In addition, we continue to improve our customer selection criteria, and as always, are working to recruit additional physicians at existing commercial sites as another way to grow our business to increase utilization of our devices. We must ensure our business is scalable, especially in the way we support our surgeons and the use of tech in their ORs. This is where I believe our ability to drive innovation and product development will support not just the clinical development team, but our commercial efforts as well. We will apply an agile approach to our commercial business, and we will continue to learn in the field with the goal of constantly iterating and improving upon the current state. With that, I'd like to now turn over to Andrew, who's going to discuss some of the innovations that can be applied in the near term and future developments that we can use to further broaden the market, market opportunity for Perimeter. Andrew? Thanks, Adrian, for the opportunity to speak about Perimeter's ongoing innovation work, which can be broadly categorized as AI improvements that will be applied directly to the ongoing clinical trial, and innovations and improvements that we intend to apply to generally improve our customer experience. Specific to the AI used in the trial, we have implemented enhancements that encompass both technical and usability aspects. On the technical front, the new model now utilizes more than 30x higher resolution images in order to fully capitalize on the exceptional resolution provided by OCT imaging. Additionally, we have expanded the size of the training data through collection and curation of more data, which consequently has enabled us to amplify the model's complexity by approximately fivefold through a deeper and broader network. As Adrian noted, based on independent test data correlated with blinded pathology, the new AI model demonstrates enhanced performance across all crucial metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, precision, and recall. These improvements indicate a more precise classification, reduced instances of false positives, and fewer false negatives. Outside of the AI currently used in the clinical trial, we remain focused on maintaining a broad pipeline of product innovations that touch on areas such as improving speeds at which the device is used, the ability to identify features using other models, exploring how AI can be leveraged to provide an enhanced training tool for our technology. Looking ahead, we continue to identify viable growth opportunities through the expansion of indications or other tissue types, as well as exploring new points in the cancer surgery workflow. An example of this is using Perimeter's technology to assist the pathologist as well as the surgeon. With that, I'll turn you back over to Adrian. Thanks, Andrew. With Perimeter's deep commitment to ongoing innovation, I'm also excited to see continued investment and new funding support for innovative cancer solutions. For example, the very, recent exciting announcement from the White House regarding its ARPA-H's new Precision Surgical Interventions, otherwise known as PSI program, as part of the President's Cancer Moonshot initiative. Last year's federal budget allocated approximately $1.5 billion to ARPA-H. Grant programs like this new PSI initiative not only have the potential to provide additional funding, but also raise awareness about an issue that's central to our mission. We absolutely need to provide better solutions and technologies for surgeons to eradicate the need for repeat cancer surgeries and relieve the associated burden of more difficult patient recovery, more frequent cancer recurrence, delays in adjunct treatments, and higher healthcare costs. Andrew will spearhead our involvement in this grant program, starting with his attendance at a limited invitation proposers day for interested research teams, which is scheduled for next week in Chicago. We look forward to keeping you updated on our level of participation within this program. I would like to now turn my attention briefly to our financial position. For more details, please refer to our quarterly report and press release filed today. As of June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $20.9 million. With this strong cash position, our prudent fiscal management and additional CPRIT grant money still available to us, we're confident we'll be able to support our planned clinical development activities and fund the continued commercial rollout of our products. So to summarize, business highlights from this quarter included completion of a leadership transition with my appointment as CEO and the addition of Dr. Josh Vose to Perimeter's board of directors, along with naming Sara Brien as our new CFO and transitioning Andrew Berkeley's role to Chief Innovation Officer. Implementation of a substantially enhanced AI algorithm into the ongoing pivotal clinical trial under the existing study protocol. Expansion of our commercial customer base, with initial installations of Perimeter's flagship S-Series OCT in the states of Utah and Georgia, and the initiation of additional clinical trial sites at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center and Mayo Clinic in Florida. In conclusion, I'm very excited about the future ahead for Perimeter. We intend to add and redeploy resources as needed and looking forward, execute on our game plan to continue to expand our base of key opinion leaders who will champion the use of Perimeter S-Series, support ongoing enrollment in our pivotal trial using the improved AI algorithm, with the goal of providing another regulatory update within the coming weeks, explore additional tissue indications and other workflow expansion opportunities, and continue to attract high caliber talent as we grow the team that will support the achievement of these goals. With that, I will now open up the call for your questions. Operator? Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we will be conducting a question and answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, you may press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star key. One moment while we pull for questions. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, it is star one to ask a question. Our first question comes from the line of Scott McAuley with Paradigm Capital. Please proceed with your question. Hi, Adrian. Congrats on first few weeks in the role. Just a few questions for me. One, I guess on the utilization in terms of the current customers. Can you speak to either how many procedures have been performed kind of year to date, and how you're, you know, seeing trends in the current utilization? Sure. Yeah, thanks for the question. Scott, yeah, utilization is one of these things that's really important for us. The more operations we can get, the more procedures we can get on a single device, of course, with the razor blade model is helpful. We've seen that going up in really two dimensions. One is as our surgeons get more comfortable with the device, they're starting to use it across, you know, more and more of their procedures. At the point right now where many of them who have had it for a while are using it on what seems to be pretty much all of their, you know, at least their DCIS surgeries and even beyond that. We are also seeing expansion at a device level, uses of a device level across multiple surgeons in similar facilities in some places, which is extremely exciting for us because it just means that that word of mouth is getting out from, you know, our early adopters to the next, you know, their peers, et cetera. So, I don't have specific, you know, procedures per device information in front of me, but anecdotally, we are experiencing that, and we're sort of seeing that come through in the conversation we're having with the, with our surgeons. Yeah, that's great. And I guess one thing that we kind of highlighted in the past few quarters was some of the current either kind of current sites looking to add new systems, or the kind of customer pipeline, you know, instead of sites just looking to add or to bring on a single system that they're interested in two or three systems. Is that something that you're still seeing out there in the field? And how is that kinda impacting your pipeline going forward? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. It's a great question. So part of the strategy, you know, in terms of—I mentioned a little bit of looking at our customer selection, and for us, that's a big deal, right? It gets through the value add committee at a larger network and then be able to, you know, land and expand basically within that network. We are seeing that. That's a big focus that I will continue to have with the commercial team to make sure that continues to happen. We are, you know, currently we're not a large organization, so being able to get as much of that as possible is gonna be critical for us to be able to scale our user base without having to grow the sales force at the same rate. So we are seeing that happening, and we continue to press on that. And I'm encouraged from what I've seen so far. That's, that's great. And on the trial, obviously, I guess, you know, more details to come, but in terms of any potential for an interim readout, I don't know if that was something that had been discussed and kind of the ability to show some of the data in the existing algorithm, and how that, you know, with the big breakthrough device designation, you know, whether or not there's an opportunity to submit, you know, under there, with an interim readout or not? Yeah, I think so this, you know, this is part of what we're working through with the FDA right now, and our hope was that we'd be able to have feedback from them before this call. And unfortunately, it'll be after the call, so we'll have to give an update. We're looking at all trajectories to try to move the, you know. So I, you know, I'm obviously new into this role. One of the things I'm very focused on is how do we get through this trial as quickly as possible? And sort of all options are on the table, including increase in the number of sites, which we have. You know, we just announced two of them today, the Mayo Clinic and Baptist MD Anderson. Potential opportunities, working with the FDA on what we can do with enrollment numbers. So it's my intention, it's all of our intention to move it quickly. I think we've got multiple trajectories that we can you know, on that front. We need to wait for feedback from the FDA, and my hope is that in the next few weeks, we'll be able to come back to you with you know, some good news on that front. Got it. Looking forward to that. I guess finally, you know, obviously a lot of focus on the product development side of things. I guess, is part of that being driven by the current feedback from users? And kind of what would you say is the, you know, the main either kind of pushback or issue that you're finding that current users are having, and how the product development is addressing those? Yeah, absolutely. Great question. So, you know, a little bit my heritage, I guess, is I come from a technology background. So, it's not that I see the world through the eyes of an engineer, but maybe I kind of do a little bit. When I joined the company, you know, some of the first conversations we had is what is the customer feedback and what can we do from a product development standpoint to help address that? So, some of the things that Andrew talked about will definitely... or is definitely feeding to that. I'm not a huge fan of doing product development in a vacuum from the customers. So what you'll see as we start to announce new products over, you know, over the coming quarters, is it will be fed by customer feedback. That's just—I mean, that's just the way you have to run a business like this. The areas that we're really focused on right now is the workflow inside the OR. How to decrease the amount of time that the surgeon has to actually spend with the device, and how to make it fit more seamlessly into their workflow. So I think as we start to announce, some of those will become clear, like, you know, what those products are and how they fit into that paradigm. But maybe that gives you a little bit of indication of how I'm looking at the product development pipeline or roadmap. Is really about, based off of customer feedback, and then how do we ease the use of the, you know, of the device and the technology for the users. That's great. Thank you, Adrian, and looking forward to quarters to come. Cheers. Thank you. There are no further questions in the queue. Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's teleconference. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time and have a wonderful-
