    Background. Two approaches for approximation of collimator scatter correction factors of rectangular fields can be found in recent publications. One is based on empirical equations or some more ... sophisticated physical models using certain parameters which have to be adjusted for a specific machine. The otheris based on an earlier proposed idea of decomposition of collimator scatter correction factor function of two variables - into the product of two functions of one variable. In this work four models, based on the decomposition, are compared. All these models are based on the measurement of the output variation while opening one of the two collimator blocks, the otherbeing opened at some fixed value. Material and methods. The measurements were carried out using nominal 6 MV and 15 MV X-ray beams of a Siemens linac and nominal 6 MV and 18 MV X-ray beams of a Varian linac. Results and conclusions. It was shown that better approximation can be achieved with a suitable choice of basic measurements and normalisation of data.
