Is It Time To Rebrand WBCT As 3D X-Ray?

When it comes to diagnostic imaging, 3D imaging provides an all-encompassing view of the body. For weight-bearing body parts, a 3D look can allow doctors to get an image, make a more accurate assessment and determine the best medical care.

Dr. Francois Lintz, a foot and ankle specialist and pioneer of 3D imaging, has used the methodology as a central tenant of his care. During his time as a doctoral fellow, he stumbled upon hindfoot alignment in 3D, which led to his partnership with CurveBeam.

On this episode of CurveBeam Connect, Host Vinti Singh, Marketing Director for Curvebeam, talked with Lintz about his career and his work with 3D imaging. The duo also dug into the history of the WBCT and Lintz’s current role as president-elect.

Francois, a foot and ankle surgeon, fell in love with this practice in 2006. The doctor he studied under during his fellowship had the intuition that the industry would switch to 3D sooner rather than later. He then asked Lintz to work on hindfoot alignment in 3D. Lintz, confused, asked the doctor what he should do. The answer? Just find something.

“We had this idea to measure hindfoot alignment in 3D and to define what this meant,” Lintz said. “This was the seminal work that led us to work with CurveBeam.”

Listen to learn more about Lintz’s career, history with 3D imaging and work with CurveBeam.

Google’s AlphaGenome Atlas puts billions of DNA variants in reach

AlphaGenome Atlas gives researchers predicted molecular effects for possible DNA changes across the human genome, helping teams prioritize variants for experimental follow-up.

  • 01The Atlas covers roughly nine billion possible single-letter DNA substitutions, according to The Verge.
  • 02Predictions can prioritize research questions but do not establish clinical findings.
  • 03The useful implementation pattern is prediction, study-specific evidence, then validation.

OpenAI put 10,000 AI agents on Navier–Stokes. Healthcare R&D should pay attention

OpenAI put 10,000 AI agents on Navier–Stokes. Healthcare R&D should pay attention

OpenAI says roughly 10,000 AI agents produced a proposed Navier–Stokes solution in 88 hours, followed by Lean verification. For healthcare and life sciences, the immediate signal is a research workflow built around parallel agents, code execution, provenance and formal checking—not a ready-made clinical simulator.

  • 01OpenAI's result is a proposed proof under review, not a new clinical simulation product.
  • 02The near-term B2B signal is a coordinated research stack combining agents, code and formal verification.
  • 03Healthcare buyers should evaluate provenance, reproducibility, security and cost per validated result.

Seeking medical evaluation immediately after a vehicle crash, regardless of how you feel, is essential because adrenaline can mask serious injuries for hours or even up to a full day. A same-day medical visit creates a documented paper trail tied to the accident date, which protects against insurance companies disputing injury claims and denying compensation.

  • 01Feeling fine immediately after a vehicle crash may not accurately reflect one's health condition.
  • 02The body's response to stress can delay the onset of injury symptoms.
  • 03Seek medical evaluation after a crash, even if injuries aren't immediately apparent.
