Static MLC transmission simulation using two-dimensional ray tracing

CONCLUSION: The MLC transmission curve properties determined by this study have implications both for MLC position calibrations and modeling within TPSs. Two-dimensional ray tracing can be utilized to identify where simple behaviors hold, and where they deviate. These results can help clinical physicists engage with vendors to improve MLC models, subsequent fluence calculations, and hence dose calculation accuracy.PMID:35596533 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.13646
