What is the working principle of tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator? Let’s begin with some pieces of information of multi-leaf collimator. Tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator, which was developed to replace the traditional lead blocks, are used on linear accelerators to provide conformal shaping of radiotherapy treatment beams. And specifically, conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy can be delivered using multi-leaf collimators. The multi-leaf collimator has movable tungsten alloy leaves to block some fraction of the radiation beam. Typically, multi-leaf collimators…
