  A multileaf collimation is a standart technique in the conformal radiotherapy. A dose calculation method for beams that are shaped by a multileaf collimation system is described. Dose distribution for different field forms was obtained via this method. Comparison of calculation results and experimental data allows using it in a clinical practice. The method has been designed for the radiotherapy planning system SCANPLAN that was developed by Saint-Petersburg State University.
