In this study, we measured shielding block correction factors for irregular fields and compared them with published data for the square blocked field. We devised a methods to measure the factors at an arbitrary depth in phantom. The measurements were performed for 12 shielding blocks used in radiation therapy. The measured correction factors for irregular blocked fields were consistent within $pm$0.5% with those of the square blocked fields. Our results show that the shielding block correction factors for the typical square blocked fields can be used in clinical dose calculations for irregular blocked fields. However, for small fields, we suggest that verification be done by measurement.
