Towards Automated, Generalised and Flexible Bone and Joint Measurements
Monash University are thrilled to announce their collaboration with CurveBeam AI on an industry-focused PhD project aimed at addressing key challenges in the Information and Technology / Artificial Intelligence sector. This collaborative effort brings together academic expertise and industry insights to drive innovation and deliver real-world impact.
The project, titled “Towards Automated, Generalised and Flexible Bone and Joint Measurements” focuses on developing advanced computer vision methods for automating anatomical measurements from medical images, with an emphasis on bones and joints. These tools will support faster, more consistent, and scalable assessments, ultimately improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in musculoskeletal healthcare.
Leveraging Monash University’s renowned expertise in computer vision and artificial intelligence and CurveBeam AI’s industry leadership in medical imaging and orthopaedic diagnostics, this project epitomises a collaborative approach that bridges the gap between academia and industry.
“At CurveBeam AI, our mission is to push the boundaries of musculoskeletal imaging and deliver tools that empower clinicians with faster, more accurate, and more consistent insights. This collaboration with Monash University is a perfect alignment of academic innovation and real-world application. By integrating advanced AI-driven measurement tools into our imaging solutions, we are not only enhancing the clinical value of our products but also setting new standards for efficiency, scalability, and patient care across orthopaedics.” – Dr Yu Peng, CurveBeam AI
“This project exemplifies the kind of high-impact, interdisciplinary research we aim to foster at Monash. By advancing the frontiers of AI-driven medical imaging, it not only strengthens our position as a leader in digital health research but also offers rich opportunities for academic collaboration, student training, and real-world translation.” – Dr Qiuhong Ke, Monash University
“I’m truly excited and grateful for the opportunity to pursue a PhD at Monash University that aligns with my full-time role at CurveBeam AI. With the support of the Australian Government, our industry partner, and the university, this unique collaboration enables me to advance cutting-edge artificial intelligence research in medical imaging, bringing it closer to real-world clinical settings and making a tangible difference in patient care worldwide.” – PhD Candidate Khue Tran
The innovative algorithms developed through this project are expected to transform clinical workflows by significantly reducing the workload of healthcare professionals, improving diagnostic consistency, and enabling timely, data-driven decision-making.
