The video segment introduces the Multi-Leaf Collimator (MLC) as an advanced, morphable device integrated into radiotherapy machines. It explains that the MLC is constructed from a Tungsten alloy, giving it high density and enabling it to function as a radiation shield. The MLC is composed of up to 80 independently movable leaves, controlled by computer software. The key functionality highlighted is its ability to rotate and conform to the three-dimensional shape of a tumor. This precise shaping capability is crucial for minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, establishing the MLC as a critical component in modern cancer treatment.

The multi-leaf ceter is an advanced morphable device integrated in radiother theapy machines. Built out of a Tungsten alloy, it has a very high density and acts as a radiation Shield.

An MLC can be built out of 80 leaves which are independently movable and controlled by computer software. With rotation, the array can conform to the shape of the tumor three-dimensionally, essentially minimizing exposure to the surrounding healthy tissue.

Making the modern MLC to be a critical component to ink cancer treatment today.
