BSD, GE set up integrated MRI at Duke
BSD Medical has completed integration of its BSD-2000/3D/MR Hyperthermia System with a GE Healthcare 1.5 Tesla MRI system at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.
The BSD-2000 system delivers energy that can be electronically focused to target the 3D shape, size and location of a tumor, thus providing control of tumor hyperthermia therapy.
The BSD-2000/3D/MR system integrates a BSD-2000/3D Hyperthermia System with an MR system. The integrated system was designed to deliver targeted hyperthermia therapy while providing non-invasive imaging.
The integration and installation was a joint effort between BSD, Duke and GE engineers, physicists, and physicians, according to the Salt Lake City-based BSD.
