BSD-2000 3D/MR Deep Regional Hyperthermia

MR image guided real-time non-invasive thermometry and Integration with 1.5 Tesla MR system.

The BSD-2000/3D/MR provides deep regional therapeutic hyperthermia to solid tumors by applying radio-frequency (RF) energy at a frequency 100 MHz. The system delivers energy to a patient using a power source and an array of multiple antennae that surround the patient’s body.

The addition of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) provides visualization allowing for accurate placement of the heat zone and assurance of target temperature optimization. Heating and imaging can be done simultaneously for live temperature management.

The operator can steer the heat zone in the X, Y an Z axis by utilizing the adjustment of frequency, phase and amplitude from multiple power sources. Energy can be focused electronically to the tumor region, thus providing dynamic control of the heating by the operator without repositioning the patient.
