AI-Driven Segmentation on Weight Bearing CT Introduction Accurate segmentation is critical for orthopedic workflows, including preoperative planning, patient-specific instrumentation, and 3D modeling. This internal investogation by CurveBeam AI evaluates the accuracy of AI-driven segmentation compared to manual annotation on CBCT…
Orthopedic decision-making depends on accurate representation of anatomy—particularly when joint alignment and bone relationships change under load. Conventional supine imaging can obscure these functional differences, creating uncertainty in assessment and surgical planning. A recent internal investigation evaluated whether weight-bearing cone…
In a recent episode of CurveBeam AI Connect, Vice President of Marketing Vinti Singh spoke with Dr. H. Kurtis Biggs, founder of the Joint Replacement Institute in Naples, FL. A board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Biggs performs more than 900 joint…
Fragility fractures are often the first visible sign of underlying osteoporosis but too often, they go unrecognized. A new study published in Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online highlights how hand surgeons can play a pivotal role in early bone…

Dr. Marie-Aude Munoz, Orthopedic Surgeon, Montpellier, France, shares her personal journey of integrating weight bearing CT (WBCT) system into her foot and ankle surgical practice. She explains how the system transformed her approach to diagnostics, allowing for real-time, weight bearing,…
Key Points: Computational models of the hip often omit patient-specific functional orientation when placing imaging-derived bony geometry into anatomic landmark-based coordinate systems for application of joint loading schemes. Significant differences are found when incorporating WBCT-derived data suggesting non-weight bearing (NWB)…
Key Points: Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) allows for bilateral comparative data that is imperative when diagnosing ankle syndesmosis. Side-to-side volume differences of 19% or greater may be indicative of an abnormality. Gender norms are important to consider when evaluating ankle…
Key Points: Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) uses X-Ray and markers inserted into the bone intraoperatively to assess implant migration and fixation. Model-based RSA (MBRSA) improves upon RSA by incorporating 3D implant CAD models. In one study, weight bearing CT (WBCT)-RSA was…
