Dosimetric impact assessment using a general algorithm in geant4 simulations for a complex-shaped multileaf collimator

Highlights • A Geant4 tool is proposed for multileaf collimators modeling process. • All the code features show the way the user can construct any type of multileaf. • Different dosimetric tests were done in order to reflect the goodness of the code.
