RESUMEN
It is ideal thing to compensate tissue deficit without skin contamination in curvatured irradiation field of high energy Photon beam. The 3-dimensional compensating technique utilizing tissue equivalent materials to ensure an adequate dose distribution and skin sparing effect was described. This compensator was made of paraffin(70%) and stearin wax (30%) compound. The parameters for evaluation of the effect on skin dose in application of compensator were considered in the size of the field, the thickness of the compensator and the source-to-axis distance. The results are as follows; the skin doses were not changed even though application of the compensator, but depended on the field size and the source-to-axis distance, and the skin doses were only slightly changed within 1% relative errors as increasing the thickness of the compensator in these experiments.
