Calypso® Real-Time Tracking Technology
Improving the Accuracy of Radiotherapy Using the Calypso System
The Calypso System shows exactly where the tumor is at all times during radiation treatment so that the doctor can make quick, important decisions about your care.
The key feature of the Calypso System is its Beacon® electromagnetic transponders. Each the size of a small grain of rice, three Beacon® transponders are implanted in the patient's prostate before starting radiation therapy in a procedure similar to that of a biopsy. The transponders work with the Calypso System and the 4D Tracking Station™ and can continuously detect the slightest movement of the prostate during each radiation treatment. When Calypso detects transponder motion, or the tumor target becomes improperly aligned with the radiation beam, it sends out an alert and the radiation treatment stops until the target is back in range.
