Abstract

We have developed the prototype Multi-leaf Collimator(MLC) for Medical linear acclerator. In this study, we have examined the mechanical characteristics of newly developed multileaf collimator. The leaf movement in clinical situation and the modification of accessories is good. such as the block tray mount and the wedges, due to the new MLC installation are efficient. But it was that bolts and nuts for the leaf control should have better performance.
