The ion recombination loss is one of the most important correction factors for dosimetry using ionization chamber especially for the measurement of high-intensity pulsed radiation beam. The two-voltage method has been used frequently for the correction of ion recombination loss. Several ways to approximate the method are presented. Comparisons were carried out to check the validity of the approximation. Using four ionization chambers of different types and shapes, measurements were made to obtain the optimal value of the ratio for the two voltages.
