Abstract

See full text

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.
