Varian’s New Smaller Beacon Transponder for Radiation Therapy Targeting
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Calypso-17G.jpgVarian Medical Systems received U.S. and European approvals and is **w launching its new Calypso 17G soft tissue Beacon transponder. The device which allows for real time tracking of soft tissue tumors is **w half the size of the previous model. This should help improve applicability of the tech**logy for smaller tumors while increasing the accuracy of radiation treatments.
The beacon emits **n-ionizing radio signals that are picked up by the Calypso system and triangulated accurately to the position of the tumor. Once located, the radiation beam can then be aimed at and around the beacon’s location, guaranteeing that the tumor tissue, even if moved after imaging, will be in the radiation beam’s sights.
