Table 1. Simulated Truebeam® multi-leaf collimator (TB MLC) with different parameters from the Halcyon™ dual-layer MLC. The parameters inside the bracket are simulated hypothetical MLC parameters, including leaf width, dosimetric leaf gap (DLG), leaf speed, and transmission. Values used here were based on pre-clinical system and might be different from clinical system.

  Leaf Width DLG Leaf Speed Transmission
TB MLC DLG Matched 0.5 cm (0.01 mm) 2.5 cm/s 1.5%
TB MLC Leaf Speed Matched 0.5 cm 0.13 mm (5.0 cm/s) 1.5%
TB MLC Transmission Matched 0.5 cm 0.13 mm 2.5 cm/s (0.7%)
TB MLC All 3 Matched 0.5 cm (0.01 mm) (5.0 cm/s) (0.7%)
Halcyon Dual-Layer MLC 1.0 cm 0.01 mm 5.0 cm/s 0.7%
