Figure 3 A vertical cross section (YZ plane) of SMLC obtained by ray tracing (Experimental measurements ). Physica Medica: European Journal of Medical Physics 2015 31, 301-306DOI: (10.1016/j.ejmp.2015.01.016) Copyright © 2015 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica Terms and Conditions

Figure 4 Absorbed dose profiles obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the TGF with SMLC and with VARMLC. Physica Medica: European Journal of Medical Physics 2015 31, 301-306DOI: (10.1016/j.ejmp.2015.01.016) Copyright © 2015 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica Terms and Conditions

Figure 5 Cumulative distribution functions of the random variables r(y) (crossed circles) and q(y) (diamonds). For comparison, the standard normal distribution is also plotted. In the legend, diffs. stands for differences.

Figure 6 Measured off-axis dose profiles for the TGF (points) and simulations with SMLC and different values of the air gap width (solid lines). The horizontal line is 100-AMDD from the EPID measurement.

Figure 7 Average maximum dose deficit vs. air gap width. The linear fit to the simulation results intercepts the experimental result (horizontal line) at an air gap width of 0.102(1) mm. Only three points are included in the fit.
