A simple method for determining dosimetric leaf gap with cross-field dose width for rounded leaf-end multileaf collimator systems

Abstract Purpose The dosimetric leaf gap (DLG) and multileaf collimator (MLC) transmission are two important systematic parameters used to model the rounded MLC leaf ends effect when commissioning an Eclipse treatment planning system (TPS). Determining the optimal DLG is a time consuming process. Th...
