title: Correction of a measured distribution for the finite extension of the detector.
abstract: Simple analytic expressions have been derived for the correction of a measured distribution for the finite extension of the detector in use. The expressions are simple to apply as they are only based on the actually measured data and on the size of the detector. The expressions are applied to two situations encountered in radiation dosimetry.
