Mehdi Ghorbani, Mashhad Univesity of Medical Scenes, Ia, Dr Moammad fvad TahmasebiBirgan, Ahwaz Univesity Of Medical Sciences, fan Dr Aireea Mciizach Tevangi Masta University of Medical Scenes Ian, Abstract On the basis of percent depth dose (PDD) calculation, the application of dosimetry in radiotherapy has an {important role to play in reducing the chance of tumor recurrence. The aim of this study was to introduce a new formula for calculating the centeral axis pereent depth doses of Coball-60 beam. In the present study, based on the British Joumal of Radiology (BJR) table, nine new formulas were developed and evaluated for depts of 0.5 = 30 em and fields of (4-4) — (45 45) cm, The results ofthis study indicated that one out ofall nine formulas gave a better agreement with the PDs in the table of BIR. The agreement was evaluated according 0 the diffemce between the tabulated and calculated data. The new formula has two ranges of depth (0.5 ~ 5, 6 ~ 30 cm), The average of differences berween the tabulated and calculated data using the Formula is equal to 0.3152, ‘Therefore, the calculated percent depth dose data based on this formula has a better ageement with the published data for Cobalt-60 source. 1 Introduction Dosimetry of radiotherapy treatment beam is a very important procedure because suevesstul radiation therapy requires an accurate delivery of dose t0 a can cerous volume of tissue. It is believed that a decrease ‘of 10 15% in dose delivery will result in a deerease inthe chance of eure by a factor of 2 or 3 while anit crease in dose will similarly inerease the chance of irreversible damage (1). ICRU (Intemational Commis- sion on Radiation Units and Measurements) recom- mends an accuracy of + 5% inthe delivery ofthe dose in radiotherapy [2]. A lot of researches in radiotherapy ‘make emphasis on dose measurement and calculation and introduce new methods for dose calelation [3] Sterling etal. in 1964 presented a formula to calculate the percent depth dose as a function of depth and og(A/P) (8). In 1967, Sterling etal. used @ modified formula to obtain a better agreement between the measured and the calculated values by dividing the
