Abstract:
This study was respective which carried out for Measurement of Internal
Radiation Dose during Thyroid Cancer using Iodine 131 by Monte Carlo
simulation in Radiation & Isotopes Center of Khartoum (RICK). A sample
of 30 adult thyroid cancer patients were investigated over a period of two
months.the data required calculation internal dose and effective dose were
recorded by the researcher (data sheet). ,and the values calculated analyzed
by Microsoft excel.
In this study the result were ( for thyroid 759.93 GY with in acceptable
tolerance ,esophagus 20.02GY,sivary gland 10.17 GYand the effective dos
35.59GY).
The study found that a weak correlation was shown between organ and
dose, and there are a strong correlation between thyroid dose and(age,
weight and high) and there is strong correlation between time and the
activity .
The study recommended that daily survey to patient to ensure (that the dose
reduction step by step ,patient flow physicist’s order like drink lot of water
,wash his body frequently and supplied the patient by optimal environment
during period of it’s isolation in the hospital and ensure that no one from
public can get him except especial case which he need it until the dose
come down.
