Abstract: A multileaf collimator is provided. The multileaf collimator may be used for radiotherapy. The multileaf collimator may include a plurality of leaves that are adjustable along a displacement direction for the absorption of rays propagated along a direction of radiation, with opposing leaves relative to the displacement direction with front faces oriented toward each other being displaceable into a closed position. The multileaf collimator may also include a shielding-intensifying planar shape, which in closed position, is characterized by an at least partial overlapping of the front faces relative to the direction of radiation.

Abstract: The motors of a multi-leaf collimator for driving the leaves are tilted away from horizontal. The motors are oriented at an angle upwards from the top or downwards from the bottom of a plane formed by the leaves of the multi-leaf collimator. By tilting or angling the motors relative to the multi-leaf collimator, motors with a single standard or a few different shaft lengths may be used. The motors may be more tightly packed, allowing for shorter leaves. Since Tungsten is expensive, costs may be saved by the shortening of the leaves. Standardization of the motor parts may also reduce costs. Due to the reduced weight of the resulting multi-leaf collimator, wear of the bearings of the linac or gantry arm may be reduced.

Abstract: A lamella collimator, in particular for a beam therapy appliance, is provided. The lamella collimator has a plurality of lamellae, which can be moved by a motor or motors in a movement direction in order to preset a countour of a beam path on an X-ray beam. Each lamella has a position measurement apparatus with a movable measurement element, which is attached directly to the respective lamella.

Abstract: The invention relates to a leaf (1) for a multi-leaf collimator (2) for delimiting a high-energy beam (3, 3′, 3″) of an irradiation device, in particular for conformational radiation therapy. According to the invention, the multi-leaf collimator (2) comprises a plurality of opposing leaves (1), which can be brought into the beam path (3, 3′, 3″) by means of drives (4), in such a way that the contour (5) of said path can be shaped in accordance with the volume to be irradiated. The need for beam-absorbent material (7) is reduced, as the leaf (1) essentially only comprises a beam-absorbent material (7) of an appropriate thickness (8) in a region (6) that is brought into the path (3, 3′, 3″) of the high-energy beam (3) during the course of all possible positional displacements (9). The invention also relates to a corresponding multi-leaf collimator (2), a device (22) for delimiting beams, and an irradiation device.
