Cervical cancer is diagnosed in over half a million women a year. One of the therapies used to destroy cervix cancer cells is brachytherapy. This type of therapy has a radioactive source located in right position or near the cancer cells. At the time of <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> brachytherapy should be to use the system to design the number and geometry of the radioactive source. One kind this system is the Manchester system, it is designed to deliver a uniform dose. In fact, brachytherapy is always faced a high risk for patients’ safety. An understanding of the basic concept of calculate from radiation particle flux distribution is one way that can be used to perform the optimization of therapy. However, mostly people do not understand about it, even medician. This is the background from author to do simple study about calculation of the radiation particle flux distribution and make simple concept about it. The method in this study used coordinate transform to have formula. This <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> calculation based on the geometry of various radioactive sources, being brought closer to the point and line. The formula used to have contour curves with simple computing in Excel. Contour curves from this radiation particle flux distribution is in two – dimensional <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> form. The result showed that isodose contours curves from research used excel were similar with references in quantitatively. This way is very simple and people can easily understand the basic concept of calculate from radiation particle flux distribution.
