Abstract
A two dimensional approach to the evaluation of a missing tissue compe nsator system has been developed and implemented. Quantitative descrip tors of the dose area histograms generated by scanning films irradiate d under a variety of compensated and uncompensated conditions are prop osed. The method has been found to be useful during the acceptance tes ting of a commercial compensator system and the results of this exerci se are presented.
