Tungsten Alloy Multi-Leaf Collimator in Radiotherapy Treatment

A tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator is a device made up of individual tungsten alloy "leaves", that can move independently in and out of the path of a particle beam in order to block it.

tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimators are used on linear accelerators to provide conformal shaping of radiotherapy treatment beams. Specifically, conformal radiotherapy and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) can be delivered using tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator.

The tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator has improved rapidly since its inception and the first use of leaves to shape structures in 1965 to modern day operation and use. Tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator's are now widely used and have become an integral part of any radiotherapy department. Tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimators were primarily used for conformal radiotherapy, and have allowed the cost effective implementation of conformal treatment with significant time saving, and also have been adapted for use for IMRT treatments.
