|
This study is fulfilled to evaluate the exposure dose nearby a patient during the brachytherapy of the prostate cancer treatment and to minimize the radiation exposure by evaluating the exposure dose of the person near the relevant implanted patient, technicians and gardians. The experiment method is used on the study is MCNPX that is stood on the basis monte-carlo method and implant the source to MIRD-type phantom in 192 Ir, 125 I, and 103 Pd in virtual space. For dose evaluations according to distance, the radiation dose on the patient near the corresponding implanted patient is evaluated by each distance of 30, 50, 100, 200 cm to anterior from the implanted patient. As a result, 192 Ir showed a higher dose than 125 I and 103 Pd in every distance.
