RADIOTHERAPY APPARATUS AND COLLIMATOR SET THEREFOR
摘要:
A collimator set for a radiotherapy apparatus comprises, in sequence, an aperture collimator, a multi-leaf collimator with a pair of opposing arrays of elongate leaves each moveable longitudinally in a Y direction, and a leaf edge collimator, the aperture collimator being adapted to collimate the beam in the X and Y direction to a first extent, and the leaf edge collimator being adapted to further collimate the extent of the beam in the Y direction to a second and therefore lesser extend. This means that to close a pair of opposing leaves, they are moved to their minimum separation, with the gap being convered by the leaf edge collimator. The MLC is after the aperture collimator, so in combination with thin leaves, the MLC leaves will project a much reduced leaf width at the isocentre of the radiotherapy apparatus and collimation of the radiation field by fractional leaf widths becomes unnecessary. A radiotherapy apparatus comprising a collimator set as defined above is also disclosed.
