Medicare spent an estimated $57 billion in 2018 to provide care for patients who suffered osteoporotic fractures, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. SFS gives doctors an additional clinical tool to better aid in assessing fracture risk in non-osteoporotic patients to prevent fragility fractures.
"The challenge is to identify and pre-emptively treat those women at risk of a first or subsequent fracture among the many with osteopenia," said Seeman.

SFS is calculated from a high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scan of the wrist. CurveBeam AI intends to offer point-of-care, high resolution CT platforms to improve access to patients for medical providers dealing with patients who are non-osteoporotic.
SFS aids in the assessment of bone architecture breakdown quickly, easily, and safely. This test helps a doctor identify patients with osteopenia or normal bone density with fracture risk so treatment can be given to prevent fragility fractures.
"We are extremely pleased to be moving forward with the SFS diagnostic through the FDA Breakthrough Device Program," said Greg Brown, CEO of CurveBeam AI. "There is a clear need for an improved clinical aid like SFS to help clinicians more effectively assess bone health and prevent fractures. We are looking forward to progressing its clearance with the FDA."
