Always use ¿Jaws and MLC collimated¿. -Be aware that there is an error in the field measure calculation for machines with the MLC closer to the source than both the x- and y-jaws, and for machines with fixed jaws. Make sure to perform patient-specific QA before treatment delivery for treatment plans with fields where: 1) closed MLC leaves are positioned inside the jaw field and 2) the minimum static/dynamic tip gap is larger than 0.001 cm. Please educate planning staff and all users about this workaround.
