2 Figure 1 The tongue-and-groove designs modeled by SMLC (left) and by VARMLC (right). Physica Medica: European Journal of Medical Physics  , DOI: ( /j.ejmp ) Copyright © 2015 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 MLC configuration for the TGF.

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

5 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  , DOI: ( /j.ejmp ) Copyright © 2015 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica Terms and Conditions

6 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. Physica Medica: European Journal of Medical Physics  , DOI: ( /j.ejmp ) Copyright © 2015 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica Terms and Conditions

7 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.

8 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. Physica Medica: European Journal of Medical Physics  , DOI: ( /j.ejmp ) Copyright © 2015 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica Terms and Conditions

9 Figure 8 Gamma analysis of an IMRT head-and-neck field simulations vs. EPID measurement. In the gamma planes, red means gamma >1.
