Abstract

<p class="AbstractEnglish"><strong>Abstact: </strong>Radiotherapy <sup>60</sup>Co is a method of therapy cancer by radiation γ. Teletherapy <sup>60</sup>Co at RSUD Dr. Moewardi, the collimator opening area can be adjusted to (10 x 10) cm and the distance between source and surface target (SSD) is 80 cm. γ- radiation emitted by the <sup>60</sup>Co source will spread from the collimator to the target in a cone shape so that information about the dose rate receive by patient is needed to support the accuracy of the dose in radiotherapy. To support cancer radiotherapy at a certain depth, information is needed about the dose rate at various phantom depth, the average dose rate and the quality of the dose rate distribution. By using an ionization chamber detector placed at various phantom depth and positions, information can be recorded. PDD (percentage depth dose) of radiation with energy 1,3 MeV, the largest value is at a depth of 6,5 cm, at this depth the measured umbra area is (7,8 x 7,8)cm with an average dose rate of 0,6034 Gy/menit. As the depth of measuring instrument increases, the dose rate measured will decrease exponentially, while the umbra are at the phantom depth is relatively constant.</p><p class="AbstrakIndonesia"><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Radioterapi <sup>60</sup>co merupakan salah satu metode pengobatan kanker dengan cara menembakkan radiasi γ pada sel kanker. Pesawat teleterapi <sup>60</sup>Co di RSUD Dr. Moewardi, luas bukaan kolimator dapat diatur menjadi (10 x 10) cm dan jarak sumber dengan permukaan target (SSD) adalah 80 cm. Radiasi- γ yang dipancarkan oleh sumber <sup>60</sup>Co akan menyebar dari kolimator ke target dengan berbentuk konus sehingga informasi tentang laju dosis yang diterima pasien sangat diperlukan untuk mendukung ketepatan dosis dalam radioterapi. Untuk mendukung radioterapi kanker pada kedalaman tertentu, diperlukan informasi tentang laju dosis pada variasi kedalaman <em>phantom</em>, laju dosis rata-rata dan kualitas sebaran laju dosis. Dengan menggunakan detektor <em>ionization chamber </em>yang diletakkan pada berbagai kedalaman dan posisi <em>phantom,</em> informasi dapat direkam. PDD (<em>percentage depth dose</em>) dari radiasi-γ berenergi 1,3 MeV terbesar nilainya pada kedalaman 6,5 cm, pada kedalaman ini luas umbra yang terukur yaitu (7,8 x 7,8) cm dengan laju dosis rata-rata 0,6034 Gy/menit. Dengan bertambahnya posisi kedalaman letak alat ukur, laju dosis yang terukur akan menurun secara eksponensial, sedangkan luas umbra pada kedalaman fantom relatif tetap. </p>
