Due to the Co-60 source size, the penumbra in Co-60 teletheraphy poses a serious problem, even if the extended collimators are used, Here an empirical formula for the calculation of integral absorbed dose in the penumbra region was derived. Through a numerical calculation, the penumbra effect on integral absorbed dose was investigated. The longer the source-to-skin distance, the larger the integral absorbed dose of penumbra region, and the larger the source diameter, the larger the integral absorbed close of penumbra region. It was also found that in some case the integral absorbed dose in penumbra region becomes several times larger than the integral absorbed dose of treatment region itself if the source-to-skin distance becomes greater. Therefore, one must consider the penumbra effect in Co-60 teletherapy.
