MRI-guided radiotherapy systems offer the ability to visualize tumour targets and surrounding organs with high accuracy, with the potential to perform real-time treatment adaptation based on ...

One obstacle is that most IMRT systems use multileaf collimators (MLCs), which contain hundreds of moving parts that need to be maintained to strict tolerances. A team headed up at the University of ...

The helical tomotherapy unit combines a CT scan with a multileaf collimator. The collimeter is currently what doctors use to direct radiation; it employs tiny, overlapping leaves to shape a beam ...

Precision when it matters most: multileaf collimators deliver precision to radiotherapy treatment Summary Provided to more than a quarter of cancer patients, today’s targeted radiotherapy has come a ...

Brainlab Elements take advantage of the specific properties of Elekta’s Agility™ multileaf collimator and compensate for the width of selected leaves, enabling the radiation beam to more ...

Elekta, a human care company pioneering significant innovations and clinical solutions for treating cancer and brain disorders, has received clearance to CE mark Agility, a revolutionary beam-shaping ...

Motors from Maxon Precision Motors move the slats of a multileaf collimator for radiosurgery, creating an adjustable aperture through which radiation travels to the tumor.

Modern linear accelerators have multileaf collimators to automatically create individualized treatment fields for conformal radiotherapy and IMRT. Another feature of modern accelerators is the in ...

High-precision machined tungsten leaves called Multileaf Collimators, are contained within the linear accelerator and allow the radiation beam to be shaped according to the treatment plan entered ...
