Calypso designs and sells systems and implants allow radiation oncologists to ensure that the tissue that they are irradiating is in the exact location it is supposed to be, on a real time basis, despite the inevitable movements of the tissue and the patient. Data is beginning to confirm that the Calypso system allows the tissue to be irradiated with higher doses and lower side effects (such as lower rates of fecal incontinence for patients treated for prostate cancer) than was previously the standard of care.
