Line 1: [[File:MLCShape.svg\|thumb\|''MLC shape of an X-MLCs'']] A '''multileaf collimator''' ('''MLC''') is a [[~~collimator\|Jasskaran~~Collimator]] or beam-limiting device that is made of individual "leaves" of a high [[atomic number]]ed material, usually [[tungsten]], that can move independently in and out of the path of a [[external beam radiotherapy\|radiotherapy beam]] in order to shape it and vary its intensity. MLCs are used in external beam radiotherapy to provide conformal shaping of beams. Specifically, [[Radiation therapy#External beam radiation therapy\|conformal radiotherapy]] and [[Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy]] (IMRT) can be delivered using MLCs.
