New Progress With The Cooperation Between Calypso Medical Technologies And Elekta

A master development agreement is announced by both Calypso Medical Technologies, Inc., a developer of real-time localization technology used for the precise tracking of tumors, and Elekta, a leading manufacturer of medical devices and software for treating cancer. This cooperation aims to join the developed products integrating the Calypso® System with Elekta's radiotherapy treatment technologies.


Edward Vertatschitsch, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Calypso Medical said "The combination of the Calypso System into Elekta's world-class radiotherapy technologies could help to improve innovative treatment modalities used to heal prostate cancer along with more problematic radiation therapy targets, like the pancreas and lung". He added "Some of the desired goals are to connect the linear accelerator and the Calypso System for patient positioning during radiation delivery. This connectivity automates the process of re-positioning the treatment couch when the tumor moves out of a prescribed motion threshold".
