BSD-2000/3D Hyperthermia System


BSD2000/3D

The BSD-2000/3D provides the technological advances need to optimize deep hyperthermia therapy:

  • 24 dipole radiators which maximize the 3D energy convergence at the targeted treatment location.

  • Dynamic 3D control and steering of the heating pattern size, shape, depth and position.

  • State-of-the-art computer treatment planning including a 3D CT patient data interface.

  • QA software, techniques and equipment to ensure accuracy of RF power and phase calibration.

CAUTION: Investigational device or investigation device exemption pending. Limited by United States law to investigational use.

 

Providing 3D control for deep
hyperthermia therapy.

The Sigma Eye can achieve a central focus of approximately 9 cm (approximately a third of the wavelength of the diseased tissue). This focusing ability enables deep tumors to be non-invasively treated by the Sigma Eye Applicator.

The 3D electronic steering capability of the Sigma Eye can position and shape the energy focus in the long body axis as well as the axial cross-section. A phase shift of 80 degrees between the end dipole rings will shift the heating pattern center.


Sigma Eye Applicator

The Sigma Eye applicator is a revolutionary annular phased array design invented and patented by BSD Medical. Its 3D array of 24 dipole antennae combined with its elliptical shape produce the unique 3D pattern-shaping capabilities. The novel application of this phased array technology to clinical hyperthermia provides unparalleled ability to control and focus energy inside the body.
