# MLC for Siemens Oncor: Uses DivergingMLC TOPAS generic MLC component
# Reference for geometry: Jabbari et al, J Med Signal Sens 3(3):172-179

########################### Key Parameters In MLC.txt ################################
# Parameters available for adjustment...
# SourceToUpstreamSurfaceDistance: Distance from x-ray target to MLC
# LeafTravelAxis: Direction of jaw travel, either along IEC_B Xb or Yb
# MaximumLeafOpen: Maximum distance permitted for leaf to open on either side of Zb
# Thickness: Thickness of the MLC leaves in Zb
# Length: Length of the MLC leaves in direction of travel
# LeafWidths: Vector of leaf widths, same sequence of leaf widths on each MLC bank     
# NegativeFieldSetting: NegativeFieldSetting <= PositiveFieldSetting for opposing leaves
# PositiveFieldSetting: Positive leaf positions projected to isocenter 
#
# Parameters calculated from other parameters...
# SAD: Source to axis distance (isocenter coincides with gantry co-ordinates origin)
