The aim of the study was to test whether the multileaf collimator can be used to replace divergent alloy blocks for field shaping and to evaluate the dosimetric impact of the scalloping effect and the effective penumbra in multifield isocentric configurations routinely used at our department to treat early stage prostate tumor in supine patients. Deviations between measurements and treatment planning system calculations are also discussed in order to estimate the accuracy of effective penumbra calculations carried out by the software in the presence of blocks or a multileaf collimator.
