Brachytherapy and hyperthermia therapy developer BSD Medical of Salt Lake City has completed the integration of its BSD-2000/3D/MR hyperthermia system with a 1.5-tesla MRI scanner from GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.
The integration, the first in the U.S. and the first with a GE MRI system, was completed at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC.
The BSD-2000 system is designed to deliver energy that can be electronically focused to target the 3D shape, size, and location of a tumor, providing dynamic control of the heat delivered to the tumor region.
The integrated system was developed to deliver targeted hyperthermia therapy while simultaneously providing noninvasive imaging of the diseased and surrounding tissue.
