A Mathematical Method to Adjust MLC Leaf End Position for Accurate Dose Calculation in Carbon Ion Beam Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System

<div>The schematic demonstrates the offset corrections of different materials for MLC. The offset correction is increased because the composition of different metals increased leading to the increment of straggling ranges.</div>
