Abstract
The dosimetrical characteristics of a new miniature multileaf collimator (ModuLeaf MLC, MRC Systems GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) attached to the accessory holder of a Siemens accelerator with 6 MV x-rays (PRIMUS, Siemens OCS, Concord, California, USA) have been investigated. In particular, those parameters which are important for the accuracy of the treatment such as output factors, penumbra, field edge precision and transmission/leakage were determined. These data can now be used to implement specific dose calculation procedures for this miniature multileaf collimator in treatment planning systems.
