The new system to be installed at Duke University will provide magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) monitoring of cancer treatments in progress as delivered by a BSD Medical system.
This is said to be the first collaborative engineering effort between GE and BSD Medical. BSD Medical has also worked with Siemens Medical Systems in prior integrations for MRI monitoring of cancer treatments with BSD Medical’s systems.
The BSD-2000/3D/MR is a hybrid integration of a BSD-2000/3D cancer treatment system with a MRI system used to visually monitor deep thermal therapy cancer treatments in progress with thermal imaging through MR-tomography.
