Abstract:Purpose Verification of the accuracy of multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf positioning is a vital component in a quality control program in any Radiation Therapy Department. The decline of film‐based dosimetric systems reinforces the trend to use 2D detector arrays. This work introduces a new method, based on the principle of partial volume response of detectors that overcomes the problem of the somehow inferior resolution of a 2D ion chamber array. Method and Material The 2D array PTW‐729 was used for the verifi… Show more
