摘要： A leaf module for a multi-leaf collimator comprises a leaf unit and a leaf drive unit. The leaf unit comprises a leaf for shielding beams from a selected area. The leaf unit is mounted displaceably in an adjusting direction with relation to the leaf drive unit. The leaf drive unit is designed to displace the leaf unit linearly in the adjusting direction. The leaf drive unit comprises at least one drive mechanism which operates based on piezoelectric actuation, being designed such that the leaf drive unit thoroughly encloses the leaf unit within a plane being oriented substantially perpendicularly related to the adjusting direction. The multi-leaf collimator can comprise a plurality of leaf modules while being shaped as compact as possible. Both precise and stable adjustability of the leaf unit is achieved with the leaf module.

摘要： A multi-leaf collimator for radiation therapy in which the position of the leaves are determined by measuring a magnetic field allows to determine the leaf position with enhanced precision, and is at the same time robust to perturbations or disturbances. The magnetic sensor may comprise a magnetic encoder that varies in a predefined pattern along a lengthwise direction of the magnetic element, in particular according to a step function.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.
