The use of photogrammetry in tissue compensator design. Part II: experimental verification of compensator design

WD Renner, TP O'Connor, SR Amtey, PR Reddi, GK Bahr and JG Kereiakes

A computer algorithm for designing sheet lead tissue compensators is described. Corrections are made for scatter within the radiation field as well as the shape of the patient for the mantle fields used in treating Hodgkin's disease. The method was tested experimentally with a phantom and found to be clinically acceptable. The advantages of employing this technique with parallel opposed fields are emphasized.
