title: The pocket linac: a hand-held device for finding IEC collimator angles and independent jaw settings.
abstract: The final stage in the production of a radiotherapy treatment plan must always be an independent check that the linear accelerator settings given on the plan do in fact deliver the required dose distribution. A tool is described that enables rapid checking of diaphragm settings in relation to the patient.
