The University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, is a premier academic research institution. Its investigational capabilities are growing with the recently opened the Orthopedic Functional Imaging Research Laboratory (OFIRL), which is centered around weight bearing CT imaging. OFIRL is the first research lab in the world to utilize a CurveBeam HiRise weight bearing CT imaging system. The HiRise provides weight bearing 3D datasets of the entire lower extremity including the hip & pelvis.
On March 24 at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time, CurveBeam will host a live event titled “Enabling 3D Biomechanical Research for the Entire Lower Extremity,” which will also dive into how researchers across disciplines are harnessing the HiRise to advance their research interests.
The live event, moderated by Jenna Roller, CurveBeam Applications Specialist, and co-hosted by the University of Iowa Health Care, will feature:
- Cesar de Cesar Netto Assistant Professor of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Carver College of Medicine
- Kevin Dibbern Co-Director, Orthopedic Functional Imaging Research Laboratory
- Michael Willey Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Carver College of Medicine
- Don Anderson Vice Chair of Research, Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Carver College of Medicine
- Ruth Chimenti Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, Carver College of Medicine
- Joseph Buckwalter Assistant Professor of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Carver College of Medicine
The event will feature front-line insights from these professionals on the impact of weight bearing CT imaging technology on their fields and practices.
