Limited accuracy of dose calculation for large fields at deep depths using the BrainSCAN v5.21 treatment‐planning system

The Varian 120 multileaf collimator (MLC) has a leaf thickness of 5 mm projected at the isocenter plane and can deliver a radiation beam of large field size (up to 30 cm) to be used in intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
