Abstract

Berger formulation was used to calculate the dose distribution of $^{60}$ Co source in tissue. $^{60}$ Co source was supposed as point source. The effect of the stainless-steel around the source was considered and Taylor Approximation Method was used for calculating exposure build-up factor. Calculated depth dose data was compared with measured data which was measured by the ionization chamber.
