A '''multileaf collimator''' ('''MLC''') is used on [[linear accelerator]]s to provide conformal shaping of [[radiotherapy]] treatment beams, specifically conformal radiotherapy and [[Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy]] (IMRT) can be delivered using MLC’s. It is made up of individual 'leaves' of a high atomic numbered material, usually [[tungsten]], that can move independently in and out of a beams path in order to block the beam.
