Design and performance of a novel multi‐leaf collimator composed of leaves with fixed and movable layers
The DLM with FM leaf performs a significant reduction in transmission from the opposite leaf tip in comparison to conventional MLC while maintaining minimal penumbra, effectively mitigating the transmission and leakage problem between opposing leaves, thereby enhancing the effect of radiotherapy.
