If you are considering the missing mass (and I agree on it), the volume 
of the voids is more appropriate.

Also the evaluation of the volume of the voids can be done easily with 
the X-rays: you just sum the void diameters raised to power 3 (instead 
of power 2 as in case of the evaluation of the area) and divide the 
result by the solder joint diameter raised to power 3 too.

So the evaluation of the volume is not more complicated than the 
evaluation of the area.
