Profile: Calypso Medical Technologies Inc offers products and solutions related to radiation therapy. Our Calypso® 4D Localization System™, referred to as GPS for the Body®, provides clinicians radiation delivery guidance in prostate cancer treatment. Five elements of this system work in tandem to provide guidance to the radiology oncology clinician on the position and movement of the prostate gland during external beam radiation therapy. The five elements are Beacon® electromagnetic transponder, 4D Console™, 4D Electromagnetic Array™, 4D Tracking Station™ and an optical system. The Beacon® transponders transmit safe radio frequency waves to the Calypso® System to provide guidance to the clinician on the position and movement of the prostate. The 4D Console&trade is a component of the Calypso® System, used to position the patient for radiation therapy treatment. The 4D Electromagnetic Array™ contains an AC electromagnetic energy source that excites the Beacon® transponders and receivers that detect the Beacon® transponder coordinates. The 4D Tracking Station™ is used to continuously monitor real-time tumor position information and generate daily reports. The optical system works in tandem with the 4D Electromagnetic Array™ that is positioned over the patient during external beam therapy. The Calypso® System exhibits sub-millimeter electromagnetic localization accuracy.
