Abstract
The inhomogeneity of absorbed dose caused by irregular body surface contour in the treatment port for external photon radiation is a problem. The discussion of the physical fundamentals and technical possibilities of missing tissue compensators leads to a practical solution. A new handy procedure is presented allowing easy and rapid preparing of geometrically minified as well as absorption- and stray radiation corrected individual compensators. The achievable dose homogeneity within the target volume is shown as better than +-5%. Systematical errors are investigated for the different parameters.
