1. Displacement detecting element (1) comprising a measuring resistance (2), a voltage source (3) and a displacement-dependent voltage pick-off (4) wherein the measuring resistance (2) is in the form of a strip and this resistance strip (6) is at least as long as the maximum length of displacement (7) of the structural component to be detected, characterized in that the displacement detection element (1) is designed for detecting displacement (7

  • ) of leaves (22) of a multi-leaf collimator (23) in that the measuring resistance (2) or the voltage pick-off (4) is rigidly connected to the leaf (22) to be detected and the other functional element (4 or 2) is fixed and at least these functional elements (2, 4) are disposed in a region (33, 33

    , 33

    ) of the leaves (22) which is not subjected to the main radiation (34).
