CurveBeam Connect: Presenting New Ideas and Challenging Old Ones

If CurveBeam was a band, it’d be the Foo Fighters. How’s that for a hook? On this CurveBeam Jobcast, host Tyler Kern got the details on an open software engineer position for Pennsylvania-based CurveBeam, the first company to offer a weight-bearing CT for extremities which has transformed the field of podiatry and orthopedics.

CurveBeam Software Development Manager Dave Rovner explained: “The main guy in that band Dave Grohl was in another band, Nirvana, a pioneer in the music scene. So, how does that relate? Our CEO Arun Singh as well as others at CurveBeam come from another pioneering company in the dental imaging world and CurveBeam really extended that technology to the medical field.”

CurveBeam, a 3D orthopedic imaging leader in the United States, Europe, Australia, and China, is looking for a software development engineer to join its reputed team five days a week in Hatfield, PA. Rovner said the ideal candidate will have a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Computer Science, or Biomedical Engineering with a software emphasis, as well as two years of experience in programming Python.

Rovner said adaptability within this agile company is essential, as well as good communication skills within small engineering teams.

“Also, we want someone who has the confidence to present new ideas and challenge old ones,” Rovner said. “This is an environment that encourages that.”

CurveBeam HiRise – Live Demo of the Next Generation of WBCT Imaging

At CurveBeam, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of weight bearing CT (WBCT) technology. The next product in CurveBeam’s family of innovative systems has arrived.

Introducing the HiRise, the next level of weight bearing CT imaging. HiRise is investigational only and is not available for sale.

Vinti Singh, CurveBeam’s own Director of Marketing, demonstrated the HiRise for visitors at RSNA 2019.

What makes HiRise so revolutionary?

The CurveBeam HiRise is the industry’s first solution for capturing bilateral, weight bearing CT imagery of the hip and pelvis.

The HiRise will provide high-resolution, high-contrast imaging of the hip and pelvis that allows for cutting-edge orthopedic care.

Leveraging a rising gantry that surrounds the patient being scanned, the HiRise allows for long-leg views of the entire lower extremity.

The HiRise is also self-shielded, plugs into a standard wall outlet, and offers the largest patient platform in its class at 35 centimeters. The gantry rises high enough to accommodate patients well above 6 feet tall.

Best of all, like CurveBeam’s other solutions, the HiRise is simple to use, offering a fast track to revolutionary orthopedic care.

Providing Complete Care with CurveBeam

The HiRise is yet another addition to CurveBeam’s industry-leading solutions for weight bearing extremity imaging, joining the pedCAT, LineUP and InReach in helping you achieve the weight bearing difference.

With 3D, weight bearing imagery and software that can help you analyze and act upon the insights it provides, you can improve diagnostic information, achieve better patient outcomes and streamline your practice’s workflow and operations.

SSR – Cone Beam CT Helps Visualize Fusion Healing

X-rays of knee may not always provide accurate post-operative assessments. For example, in the case below, post-operative X-Rays suggested a posterior shear tibial plateau fracture had been sufficiently healed.

Post-operative X-Rays appeared to show a healed posterior shear tibial plateau fracture.

However, a CurveBeam LineUP weight bearing CT exam of the same patient showed a portion of the fracture had not fused as desired.

combined MPR — The weight bearing CT scan revealed a portion of the fracture had not yet healed.

The LineUP provides three-dimensional views of fractures. The treating physician for this case, Dr. Blake Moore, said weight bearing CT has been the most critical addition to his practice since he began it, adding that it “greatly enhances the level of care and sophistication of preoperative planning.”
