Space & Siting
Room size, layout, and final siting requirements may vary based on state regulations, facility type, and clinical workflow. Final requirements should always be confirmed with applicable state regulatory authorities.
Typical Site Conditions (Most Installs)
- Fits through a standard doorway for installation
- Typical Installation completed in less than a week
- Minimal footprint & buildout
- 8′ ceiling height typically sufficient
- Plugs into standard appliance outlet

To ConFirm During Planning
- Room layout
- Shielding Specifications
- Generated from room layout and use assumptions by qualified medical physicist
- Final shielding specifications vary by state and facility setting, and adjacent spaces
- State regulations
Staffing & Workflow
Regulatory REquirements
- Staffing requirements for CT operation vary by state and must be confirmed with state regulatory authorities.
- Accreditation for advanced diagnostic imaging requires:
- a registered technologist (RT) at minimum, for system operation
- a board certified radiologist for interpretation
CurveBeam AI Provides:
- On-site training for system operation and workflows
- Go-live support to ensure proper system use
- Ongoing training resources as needed

Accreditation & compliance
cms accreditation requirement for advanced diagnostic imaging
- CMS requires accreditation for facilities providing the technical component of advanced diagnostic imaging (ADI) services in order to receive Medicare reimbursement. This requirement applies to non-hospital settings, including physician offices and independent diagnostic testing facilities. Accreditation must be obtained through a CMS-designated accrediting organization prior to billing Medicare. For full details, refer to the CMS Advanced Diagnostic Imaging (ADI) Accreditation Policy.
