BSD-2000/2000 3D Deep Regional Hyperthermia

Deep Regional system using an annular phased array configuration to shape and focus thermal energy on targeted treatment area deep inside the limbs, pelvis, abdomen or thorax.

The BSD-2000 provides deep regional therapeutic hyperthermia to solid tumours by applying radiofrequency (RF) energy at an adjustable frequency range of 75 to 120 MHz. RF energy is delivered to the tumour site using a power source and an array of multiple antennae that surround the patient’s body. The BSD-2000 is designed to provide an optimized heating zone targeted to the tumour region by utilizing the adjustment of frequency, phase, and amplitude from multiple power sources. The energy can be focused electronically to the tumour region, thus providing dynamic control of the heating delivered to the tumour region during treatment.

The BSD-2000 consists of four major subsystems:

• RF power delivery subsystem.
• Proprietary, thermistor-based, thermometry subsystem.
• Monitoring and control subsystem.
• Applicator subsystem that includes an applicator and patient support system.
• Various accessories, including a tissue equivalent QA lamp phantom that provides verification of the energy focus, pattern steering, and system operations.

 The BSD-2000 comes in two configurations, a standard power system that has a maximum power output of 1300 watts and an upgraded higher power system BSD-2000 3D that has a maximum power output of 1800 watts.
