Philadelphia Inquirer Profiles CurveBeam President & CEO
The Philadelphia Inquirer featured CurveBeam’s President & CEO Arun Singh on the front page of its Business section on Monday. Weight bearing CT was in national headlines after President-elect Joe Biden’s recent medical trip to Philadelphia to get a weight bearing CT scan to monitor healing of his foot fractures.
The Inquirer detailed how Singh founded CurveBeam because he fractured his own foot. After watching his foot & ankle specialist guess the extent of his injury via plain X-Rays, Singh rounded up a group of engineers to design a weight bearing CT scanner for the lower extremities.

Farber told the newspaper that CurveBeam “deserves to do well.”
