    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for calibrating a multi-leaf collimator of a radiotherapy device. The multi-leaf collimator comprises a plurality of leaves, each leaf comprising an imaging marker, wherein the radiotherapy device includes an imaging device configured to image the leaves. The method comprises: receiving, from the imaging device, an image of the multi-leaf collimator in a calibration position, wherein in the calibration position the tips of the leaves abut an edge of a rigid calibration block, the edge having a known calibration profile; calculating for each leaf, from the calibration profile and the location of the marker in the image, a minor offset of the marker relative to a reference point; and outputting calibration values based on the calculated minor offsets, wherein at least one leaf of the multi-leaf collimator is controlled based on the calibration values.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a radiation head for a radiotherapy device. The radiation head comprises a source of radiation configured to emit a beam of radiation; and beam shaping device for collimating the beam of radiation. The beam shaping device comprises a multi-leaf collimator; and a diaphragm positioned between the source and the multi-leaf collimator. The diaphragm comprises a diaphragm block movable along a curved path, the diaphragm block having a flat face focused on a focus point which is offset from the source of radiation.

    Abstract: A multi-leaf collimator module for a radiotherapy device comprises: a leaf bank comprising a plurality of leaves. The module also comprises a leaf guide arranged to guide linear movement of the leaves in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction, the leaf guide being in direct contact with the leaves. The module further comprises a plurality of leaf actuators, each leaf actuator arranged to engender relative linear motion in the first direction and second direction between one leaf in the leaf bank and other leaves in the leaf bank; and a leaf bank actuator arranged to engender relative linear motion in the first direction and second direction between the entire leaf bank and the leaf guide.

    Abstract: A leaf assembly for a multi-leaf collimator comprises a leaf and a leaf nut removably mounted within the profile of the leaf, the leaf nut comprising a threaded hole for receiving a leaf actuator screw oriented along a first axis in the plane of the leaf. The leaf nut is mounted within the leaf such that relative movement between the leaf nut and the leaf is prevented both linearly along the first axis and rotationally about the first axis.
