Abstract:Introduction: Central blocking is needed for some radiotherapy treatments, like the mantle field. Typically central blocking is done with cerrobend. Dynamic MLC can be used to generate a central shielded area. When MLC are used dynamically the movements of the leaves can control the fluence to compensate the dose at certain depth and also it can generate a central shielded area by bringing the intensity to cero. The objective of this work is to make a dosimetric comparison between conventional and dynamic MLC … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
