CurveBeam Set to Offer Virtual Look at Latest Innovations

With the recent cancellation of AAOS 2020 amid concerns surrounding COVID-19, CurveBeam is ready to see that the show goes on.

To that end, CurveBeam will host a virtual live event detailing its latest innovation.

Already a leader in weight-bearing CT scans and in delivering functional foot and ankle insights with this cutting-edge imaging method, CurveBeam has raised the bar even further, working to develop artificial intelligence tools that take advantage of our expanding knowledge of lower extremity biomechanics.

Currently, nearly all productive analysis calls for a segmented CT scan, and manual segmentation is often impractical to the point of impossibility.

With automatic segmentation, this process’s automation could deliver new levels of efficiency and, in turn, clinical applications that actually make sense for your operation.

However, current automatic segmentation capabilities still fall short, using clustering methods that are “semi-automatic” at best.

CurveBeam is ready to break that mold.

Introducing CurveBeam’s New Segmentation Platform

CurveBeam recently partnered a with leading artificial intelligence group to use a deep machine-learning model to accurately segment and identify one of the most complex bone structures to segment in the human body – the foot – with little to no human intervention.

The tool was trained using 300 datasets of healthy feet and ankles and accounts for typical variations, operating as a secure WebApp that allows you to upload CurveBeam datasets for segmentation.

You’ll then be able to view the datasets as 3D renderings and via multi-planar reconstruction and apply a suite of critical measurement tools, providing unprecedented efficiency and integration.

Best of all, the tool is expected to be available for clinical diagnosis applications by the end of this year.

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.

Apply for this role on LinkedIn here.

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.”
