Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A mechanical device for a multileaf delineator, designed and built in our department, is described. Its scope is used as an accessory mounted on the head of the radiation therapy simulator to obtain reliable images of the treatment field, shaped for multileaf collimation, on the patient's skin and to record them on the reference X-ray films normally acquired during the simulation phases.
