On the MLC leaves alignment in the direction orthogonal to movement

The main focus of the recommended spatial accuracy tests for the multi‐leaf collimators (MLC) is calibration of the leaf position along the movement direction and overall alignment to the radiation isocenter. No explicit attention was typically paid to the alignment of the leaves from the opposing banks in the direction orthogonal to movement. This paper is a case study demonstrating that verification of such alignment at the time of acceptance...
